This book is a beginner's guide to the fields, subfields, and theories of Astronomy. Readers will learn about the history of celestial study, archaeoastronomy, celestial mechanics, and more. The book also discusses theoretical astronomy with theories like the Big Bang, Supernova, and Stellar nucleosynthesis.
