Astronomy Today - Thryft
Astronomy Today - Thryft

Discover the universe with critical thinking.

"Astronomy Today is an insightful read for anyone interested in understanding the universe and our place within it. The book emphasizes critical thinking and visualization, making the process of scientific discovery an integral part of its content. The authors have thoroughly updated the book with the latest astronomical discoveries and theories, presenting a big picture of the universe and its wonders. Whether you are a student or an enthusiast, Astronomy Today will leave you with an enlightened perspective and a sense of awe at the vastness of the cosmos."

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
