商品描述
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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
作為每位天文學家所知,天文學是自然科學中最易接觸且最具啟發性的領域之一。它吸引著兒童和成人,並以其巨大的距離和難以想像的自然現象吸引著好奇的心靈。在這本書中,您將了解如何成為分享科學知識和啟發各年齡層心靈旅程的一部分。通過使用本書提供的經濟實惠的工具和技術,您將學習天文學家如何輕鬆地通過觀察我們太陽系的行星、衛星,甚至更遙遠的天體,如星雲、恆星誕生區和超新星殘骸,來吸引人們的注意。
或許最重要的是,這門科學的自然吸引力在向非科學家解釋科學如何「運作」時是非常有幫助的。什麼是科學和科學方法論?它如何用來為人類提供知識和解決我們在許多科學領域(包括醫學)面臨的問題?它與其他信息來源有何不同?
這本書結合了作者超過24年的公共推廣個人經驗,提供了實用的技術,以吸引、教育和啟發所有對天文學領域感興趣的人。
