Description
Astrophysics Is Easy! An Introduction for the Amateur Astronomer by Michael Inglis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the universe. Contrary to popular belief, astrophysics doesn't require complex mathematics - it can be explained in simple terms using plain arithmetic and everyday examples. This fully updated third edition covers significant changes in astrophysics theories and research over the last five years, including new topics on exomoons, exocomets, exoasteroids, Special and General Relativity, gravitational waves, telescope optics, black hole astrophysics, and more. The book includes observing lists to help readers observe these concepts for themselves, as well as in-text questions and end-of-chapter problems with solutions. By cutting through the complexity of astrophysics, this book makes it accessible to amateur astronomers and anyone interested in understanding the universe.
