Addressing the newest developments and latest discoveries in the exciting study
of astronomy, this revised seventh edition of STARS AND GALAXIES helps students
use astronomy to understand science and use science to understand what we are.
Fascinating and engaging, STARS AND GALAXIES illustrates the scientific method
and guides students to answer these fundamental questions: What are we? How do
we know? In discussing the interplay between evidence and hypothesis, author
Michael Seeds provides not only facts but also a conceptual framework for
understanding the logic of science. Coverage includes observations of the shapes
of stars; evidence of dark energy, quasars, and galaxy collisions; and a look
inside supernova explosions. And whether you choose to assign homework in an
