The textbook for my Intro to Astronomy course I took as a college freshman. I recently re-read it to re-learn astronomy. Very helpful introduction to astronomy that explains everything effectively without dumbing anything down. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn astronomy.

Yup, I read nearly every page. I hate the universe.
