About this audiobook
What is the Sun made of? How far away are the stars? Why do shooting stars fall? This 1925 introduction takes the beginner on a tour of the sky, from the solar system and each planet to the Moon, comets, the Milky Way, eclipses and telescopes.
Hereward Carrington wrote it as a Little Blue Book in plain, non-technical language, with homely comparisons to make huge distances easier to picture. It is read by Jen Sward. Ninety-six minutes.
For listeners who want a friendly overview of the heavens, from an earlier era of astronomy.
