About this ebook

Welcome to the fascinating world of astronomy!

Part 1: Beginner’s Guide to Astronomy: Easy guide to stargazing, the latest discoveries, resources for beginners, and more!

You don’t have to be an astronomer or an expert to appreciate this book. This book is perfect for beginners because everything is explained in simple terms. You will be drawn into the fundamentals about the universe, like, how did it come about; the theories surrounding it, including the much talked about Big Bang Theory; what is the Milky Way?; what is the biggest planet?; when can you expect to see the next meteor shower?
Many of us ponder over the vastness of the universe and how it came to be. Some theorists suggest that it has always existed while others seek to prove that it is the product of a big explosion (the Big Bang Theory). This book touches upon old and new theories that would enable you to understand the findings and, perhaps, postulate your own theories. 
You will also pick up tips, like the type of telescopes suitable for beginners, and stargazing mobile apps which can enhance your starry night experience.

    Introduction

    Welcome to the fascinating world of astronomy!

    This book contains basic information on the various theories, celestial bodies and how the universe came into existence.

    Many of us ponder over the vastness of the universe and how it came to be. Some theorists suggest that it has always existed while others seek to prove that it is the product of a big explosion (the Big Bang Theory). This book touches upon old and new theories that would enable you to understand the findings and, perhaps, postulate your own theories.

    The best part is you don’t have to be an astronomer or an expert to appreciate this book. Anyone can read it because everything is explained in simple terms. So, if you’re looking to learn about the universe, this book is just the travelogue you need.

    Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!

    Chapter 1: What are celestial bodies?

    Celestial bodies are magnificent. Several scientists, astronomers, astronauts and other people involved in the study of astronomy are fascinated by planets, the existence of different types of stars, the Milky Way, constellations, the Aurora and other celestial bodies.

    i) Let’s talk about planets first.

    Like planet Earth, every planet moves in an orbit and around a star. Each planet has its own axis. According to various scientists, astronomers and astronauts, there were nine planets in total: Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Earth, Neptune, Venus and Mercury. However, astronomers recently ruled that Pluto is ‘no longer a planet’ because its orbit was found to create that of Neptune’s.

    ii) Apart from the planets, there are various stars, too. Stars are held in place by their own gravity. These are defined as ‘luminous spheres of plasma’.

    The largest star visible is the sun. There are several other types of stars but these aren’t visible to the naked eye. Here are some examples:

    Dwarf stars - These stars have reached the end of their lives and are said to be remnants of other stars (also referred to as stellar remnants). Some discredit them as stars because they are not capable of undergoing nuclear fusion.

    Neutron stars - Like Dwarf stars, these are stellar remnants of larger stars that had undergone massive explosions.

    Red Giant stars - These are stars that have run out of hydrogen and end up as Dwarf or Neutron stars and, in some cases, also become black holes.

    Most stars are big ‘balls’ or sphere of gas. The stars that we can see in the night sky consist of large amounts of helium and hydrogen. Those that cannot be seen have exhausted their hydrogen reserves. This does not mean that they have ceased to exist – they just cannot be seen by the naked eyes.

    iii) One of the most fascinating features of space is the Milky Way. Astronomers continue to study this magnificent phenomenon. So far, what we know about the Milky Way is that it is
