As every astronomer knows, astronomy is one of the most approachable
and inspiring of the natural sciences. It appeals to both children and
adults while drawing in curious minds with its immense distances and
unimaginably powerful natural phenomena. In this book, you will find
out how to be a part of the journey in sharing scientific knowledge
and inspiring minds of all ages. By using the affordable tools and
techniques provided in this book – you will learn about how
astronomers can easily engage people with views of our solar
system’s planets, moons, and even more distant objects like nebulas,
stellar nurseries, and remnants of exploded stars. Perhaps most
importantly, the natural appeal of this science is helpful when
explaining to non-scientists how science “works." What is science
and scientific methodology? How is it used to give mankind knowledge
and solutions to problems that we face in many scientific fields
including medicine? How does it differ from other sources of
information? This book, sprinkled with the author’s 24 plus years of
personal experience in public outreach, offers practical techniques to
engage, educate, and inspire all who are interested in the field of
astronomy.
