Observer’s Guide to Stellar Evolution: The Birth, Life and Death of StarsSpringer Science & Business Media, 6 dic 2012 - 238 pagine Stellar evolution - the birth, development and death of stars - is central to our current understanding of astronomy, but surprisingly the majority of amateur astronomers lack a full understanding of the physics of stars. Mike Inglis brings the subject to life in a unique way, combining a step-by-step introduction with suggestions for practical observations of stars at different stages in their evolution. Regardless of their current level of knowledge, amateur astronomers will find this book fascinating and informative. |
