Moore, Patrick

Review :
"Patrick Moore is the leading presenter and educator in astronomy of our age - this little book is all one needs to enjoy and learn something of this endlessly fascinating subject." - Paul Murdin, Editor-in-Chief Macmillan/IOP Encyclopedia of Astronomy and Astrophysics "This book not only contains current data collected by spacecraft but also gives a lot of information seldom cited in scientific literature on the Moon and the Sun, the planets and stars, our Galaxy and numerous other galaxies. It also reveals the latest scientific discoveries about black holes, quasars and the origin of the Universe . . .One of the main characteristics of this book is the extensive range of problems discussed - from the smallest particles and minor planets to the infinite Universe! Even the most complicated questions are discussed briefly and clearly." -E B Kostyakova and G A Leikin in Astronomical and Astrophysical Transactions "We have here a veritable base of information which should find itself on every astonomer's shelves and, above all, in every amateur club." -L'Astronomie "This reference book will be welcomed by all astronomers from beginners to experienced observers" ASLIB Book Guide .." a substantial piece of writing" -The Observatory "This book fills a niche in which the reader is presented with detailed astronomical data and concise explanations, all at an accessible level. . . it is an excellent resource, and probably will be the first book I shall reach for when wanting an initial quick reference." -Gordon Bosch in MNASSA Vol. 60, Nos. 1 and 2
