This book requires no special preparation—just curiosity and a basic understanding of physics. You'll explore everything from the very basics to the cutting edge of science: where do astronomers work and what hinders them? How are distances to stars measured? Why do we need time zones and GPS satellite systems? You'll visit Venus with its greenhouse effect and Mars with its eroded surface.

You'll learn about the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, what the interstellar medium consists of, how to search for exoplanets, and whether life beyond Earth is possible. From solar eclipses and Kepler's laws to the accelerated expansion of the Universe and its future—all of modern astronomy in one lively and engaging book.

The publication is supplemented with reference appendices: problems, tables of physical and astronomical constants, views of the starry sky, systems of units, and topics for essays and observations.
