About This Book

A later section provides a popular overview of astronomy, tracing early observational origins and successive cosmological models from ancient earth-centered imaginings and Ptolemaic constructions to the Copernican revolution and later advances by Kepler, Galileo, Halley and Newton. It describes how telescopic observation and improved measurement clarified planetary motions, explains the modern ordering and characteristics of planets and satellites, surveys the many minor planets or asteroids, and uses accessible analogies to convey relative distances and sizes while showing how evolving theory reshaped understanding of the solar system.
