Astronomie

Wie kann man Astronomie am spannendsten erklären? Wie die Abteilung des Museums stellt auch das Buch allgemein interessierende Fragen: Was sehen wir am Himmel? Was sind Sterne? Wie entwickeln sie sich? Woher kommt die Energie der Sonne? Wie sieht unser Planeten-System aus? Wie haben sich Kosmos und Leben entwickelt? Und woher wissen wir das alles?
