At last, an introductory work on astronomy oriented to children and young people. This guide is written in a language accessible to this public, to which it offers a fascinating introduction to astronomy and the wonders of the firmament. A book that stimulates a passion for science, an interest in the mysteries of nature and a willingness to see things for oneself. Starting from the contemplation of the universe as a whole, it describes what can be seen in the night sky. Then, the Solar System is explored in detail, studying each planet one by one, from the torrid Mercury, the closest to the Sun, to the distant and icy world of the trans-Neptunian objects. The satellites, asteroids, meteoroids and comets are discussed, and the objects that reside outside the Solar System are explained. With this book, the reader will learn what stars are and how they are agglomerated in concentrations to form the galaxies that make it possible to probe the farthest reaches of the universe. At the end of the book, researcher John Brown, Astronomer Royal of Scotland, answers questions on astronomy posed by schoolchildren.
