They conclude with practical projects and exercises.New to the Fourth Edition:Revised values such as the obliquity of the ecliptic Expanded material that is devoted to new astronomies and techniques such as optical data recording A listing of Web sites that offer information on relevant astronomical eventsRevised and expanded, this edition continues to offer vital information about the fundamentals of astronomy.
