Wholesale Jung For Beginners - Adult Book

Here is a friendly and accessible guide to our universe, galaxy, our solar system and the planet we call home. Each year as we cruise through space on this tiny blue-green wonder, a number of remarkable events occur. For example, like clockwork, we'll run head-on into asteroid and cometary debris that spreads shooting stars across our skies. On occasion, we'll get to watch the disk of the Moon passing the Sun, casting its shadow on the face of the Earth, and sometimes we'll get to watch our own shadow as it glides across the face of the Moon. Astronomy For Beginners will explain this elaborate celestial dance - the patterns of the heavens, the equinoxes and the solstices, the major meteor showers, and solar and lunar eclipses. It will take you on a guided tour of the solar system and beyond. We'll discover how the way we measure time itself is intimately related to celestial phenomena, and explore our historical and continuing mission to understand our place in this marvelous universe.
