Reviews

[Lore · Rating 5 out of 5]

For an astronomy buff, this book does not hold many secrets. Yet it still managed to surprise me with interesting bits. To date, I've read several introductory books on astronomy, yet this one held my interest and conveyed some interesting facts. It's definitely worth a read, whether you're very knowledgeable on the subject, just starting out, or merely curious about astronomy.
