This text uses a new, more accessible structure to describe astronomy from a modern perspective. It begins by describing the aims of astronomy, followed by chapters that explain how sizes and dimensions are determined, and how information is turned into models of the solar system, the galaxy and the universe at large. There is a unique section on the history of matter, and the last three chapters describe the solar system, the astronomy of stars, galaxies and cosmology.
