Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of astronomy as it is understood today, aiming to make this complex subject accessible to the general reader. Unlike the Ptolemaic System, which placed the Earth at the centre of the universe, this book explores the Copernican theory, which positions the Sun as the centre of our solar system and all planets, including Earth, orbiting around it. The author takes the reader on a journey through the vastness of our universe, discussing planets, their satellites, comets, meteors and stars. This book also delves into the history of astronomy, tracing its evolution from ancient beliefs to the latest scientific discoveries. The author expertly weaves together a narrative that is both informative and engaging, inviting the reader to explore the wonders of the cosmos and understand the mysteries that lie beyond our planet. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
