Written in a clear and easily understandable style, this textbook has been thoroughly revised to include updated data and figures, new images from recent space missions and telescopes, the latest discoveries on supernovae, and new observations of the region around the four-million-solar-mass black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A rich array of teaching and learning resources is available at http://thecosmos5.com. The website is regularly updated to include the latest discoveries and photographs in the field. Review: Current research methods, physics concepts & problems, beautiful images & figures, on EVERY page - The book is perfect. Thank you for writing it. It's current, it's relevant. It describes the field beautifully. It should be on the coffee table or bookshelf or nightstand of every amateur astronomer or anyone with even a passing interest in the field. It's real-life astronomers explaining their life's work to you in a really fun and interesting way. They are also explaining other people's life's work from Galileo to Kepler to Einstein to their colleagues, the astronomers of today. So it also has a history, my friends! With fun images and figures of astonishing intellectual interest and jaw-dropping beauty ON EVERY PAGE. Not just a few but on EVERY page. There is not a page without images and figures. Who else does that at this level of expertise? Please tell me I actually want to know so I can buy that book too. In any field, this approach to education and science writing is a dream. In colleges and universities, it should be used by every lower-division, undergraduate introductory, general astronomy class that is designed not just for majors, and not just for stem majors, but for all students with an interest. People like images and figures and color, and seeing science and science history come to life! I think we'd have more astronomy majors if this book was used in lower division intro courses. I got the physical copy but the digital copy is probably great too. PDF or Kindle are readily available, so students will have affordable options. There are star charts on the inside cover, which if it's a CLASS you are giving, may save the student the price of buying one of the wheels, which maybe make it more of a lab class? Idk if those are included in the digital version? probably are. It's nice to have them there so you can instruct students to turn to the front or back cover when talking about observing skills. But also could be supplied as a handout. This book could be used in high school physics classes! That would be so much fun. Like class let's do 3 to 6 weeks of magnets and prisms and ok we will build one catapult, slide things on tracks on an inclined plane, make one waterwheel, and yes you can break something on purpose, and almost set something on fire as long as you use a vice and alligator clips to do so. Ok, we will do two full weeks on circuits. Three full weeks on force diagrams, one week on fluids and a week on thermodynamics, and a week introducing you to quantum mechanics. I may have left some physics things out, but Einstein was an astrophysicist too so they have relativity covered I am sure, and probably a bunch of what I did list already too. So after that, we are using this book to teach you the rest! Every lab after that will be us trying to put something in orbit in a safe and responsible way and besides that, we will be learning about physics by talking a lot about astrophysics, outer space, and the universe using this book as our guide. That would be awesome. It's just so readable. Everyone should read it. And it's just so, so beautiful to look at. You might be tired of having to choose between beauty and expert current knowledge in an astronomy book. So then get this book. It's as good as I've ever seen at doing both. It has fill-in-the-blanks! Multiple choice! And true and false questions at the end of each chapter which means you can use it in a BIG classroom without the need for online access. Or if you are just a huge nerd like me who likes to do little quizzes for fun you will be in nerd quiz heaven. I assume you write the authors and verify your identity as NOT a current student in a class using this textbook for credit, to get the answers. Probably have to check a box or something, who knows? Just so, so beautiful! Thank you again to the authors! At least one of whom is one of the most famous astronomers alive today. Or so I am told. Pictures on every page! Every page! Review: Modern professional astro results at an accessible level for beginners - I am a physics, astronomy, and mathematics tutor with 20 years research experience in the field. I bought this book to review to tutor as astronomy and modernize my knowledge of how the subject is taught. I was very happy with the book! It has nearly professional quality diagrams and images but the text itself is appropriate for a beginner (it has almost no math). Great resource for learning the current state of the field covering a huge variety of topics fairly thoroughly. Like reading a topical review paper crossed with a Hubble images coffee table book. _Really_ great! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #305,709 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #59 in Astronomy & Astrophysics #350 in Astrophysics & Space Science (Books) #419 in Astronomy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 119 Reviews | ## Images ![The Cosmos: Astronomy in the New Millennium - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612zZzaXntL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Current research methods, physics concepts & problems, beautiful images & figures, on EVERY page *by S***M on May 31, 2022* The book is perfect.
