Jones III…of the night sky, just like those goat-herders of 5,000 years ago.My introduction to cosmology came at an early age, with George Gamow and Fred Hoyle, each postulating an entirely difference vision of the universe, the “Big Bang” vs “the Steady State.” In 1960, it was still an open question. In the subsequent half century plus, humankind has made stunning progress in understanding those many stars (and galaxies) over our heads. If we had only made as much progress on how to get along with one another…This is my fifth work that I have read in the “A Very Short Introduction” series. I have found each to be well written, dense, meaningful reviews of a given subject. The author, James Binney, has provided a wonderful summary of the exponential grow in our knowledge of the stars above, which has been greatly facilitated by a similar exponential growth in computing power.Binney commences with the “big ideas” that were determined by Newton and Maxwell, that is, formulating the mathematical equations that described the process of the physical world. Defining them in terms of their observations of these processes on earth, and then realizing that these same equations (sometimes subsequently adjusted for Einstein’s relativistic equations) applied to matter and energy on the far side of the universe, remains a remarkable achievement.The author covers stars and galaxies, and how they are formed from the gases between the stars. Fifty years ago giant red stars and white dwarfs were known, but not black holes… where the matter is so dense that no light can escape from them. So how do we know they exist By carefully analyzing the motion of adjacent stars, particularly in binary pairs. So much information is gained by simply analyzing the spectrum of light emitted, and the red shift of these spectrum. How do we know there are other planetary systems By the luminosity of the star as the planets pass in front of them…and realizing that this must be distinguished from other reasons for fluctuations in luminosity.Our own planetary system is somewhat of a “fluke” in that the orbits of the planets are largely circular, and have avoided the normal instability of extreme elliptical orbits, which would pull a planet into the sun, or throw it completely out of the system. The perturbations to a given orbit, due to the tug and pull of all the other bodies of mass, could only be accurately modeled with modern computing power. And our sun is also in an orbit within the galaxy, and somehow we (as in a very few people) have figured out that “…56 per cent of the gravitational force that holds the Sun in its orbit is generated by dark matter so only 44 per cent is generated by stars.” And 50 years ago, no one knew of “dark matter.” As Binney says: “At heart cosmology is about three fluids: dark energy which nobody understands; dark matter which nobody can see; and the cosmic microwave radiation.This work has more equations that some of the other scientific works in this series. I do not fault placing the equations in the work, but they should be more readable, even after they have been increased in size in full view mode, and thus in the Kindle edition, they should be increased by 2-3 font sizes. There are also some useful graphs and pictures that the goat herders of old could only dream of… though a few saw the explosions of supernova, to which religious significance was often attached. Overall, another 5-star… as it were… read.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Good, Very Good, Better Yet ExcellentBy Joseph E. KarpinskiThere are so many good insights woven across each chapter. It's like a feast of understanding of stars, interstellar medium, and galaxies. Just the right mixture of data and equations that someone looking for more than an introduction to Astronomy will love. Nothing but praise for the author, who clearly explains each topic and how they relate to our current understanding of stellar evolution, galaxies, and the universe.If you are interested in Astronomy, and want more than just introductions, buy this, and read it.The author does a great job of sharing his deep understandings of the topic, so that even a lay person can understand. Well worth the journey!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Very InformativeBy CustomerThese books are incredible! My husband and I love all of the Very Short Introduction books. They are so informative with great diagrams and pictures. If you are interested in a subject, THIS is the place to start.See all 5 customer reviews...
