‘This book is rich in peculiarities for the interested observer’ - The Independent

The second edition of the

Compiled with the help of over 20 expert contributors under the editorship of renowned author and broadcaster Ian Ridpath, A Dictionary of Astronomy covers everything from space exploration and the equipment involved, to astrophysics, cosmology, and the concept of time. 

The entries have been fully revised and updated for this edition, and new entries have been added to reflect the recent developments within the field of astronomy, including magnetic reconnection, Fornax cluster, luminosity density, and Akatsuki.

The dictionary also includes biographical entries on eminent astronomers, as well as worldwide coverage of observatories and telescopes.
