Synopsis

How gravity and the stars shape our view of the universe Stay curious as you explore how scientists test gravity beyond the solar system and what binary stars reveal about motion, space, and the limits of our knowledge. This edition gathers bold ideas about how the heavens work, from the behavior of distant suns to the delicate dance of paired stars.

- See how double stars behave, and why some appear close together while others truly orbit each other.
- Learn how astronomers measure movements in the sky and what those motions say about gravity.
- Discover why scientists treat gravitation as an incredibly strong, yet not fully provable, idea about the whole cosmos.
- Get a window into questions about the universe that stretch beyond our current instruments and imagination.

Ideal for readers who enjoy space history, popular science, and thoughtful questions about how we know what we know about the universe.
