Challenges of Astronomy Hands-on Experiments for the Sky and Laboratory

by Schlosser

A unique collection of thirty experiments ranging from ancient astronomy to cosmology, each containing one or more challenges for the reader.

Topics include the shape of the sky; Stonehenge as a stone-age abacus; determining the size of the Earth; the distance of the moon, stars and planets; planetary mass, density, temperature and atmosphere; the speed of light; the nature of the quiet and active sun; photometry and spectroscopy; star clusters and variable stars; and fundamental properties of stars.
