The Compendium of Astronomy is a comprehensive and understandable introduction to astronomy. It bridges the gap between simple works for laymen and specialist research books.
Its greatest strength is its reference value: with over 190 tables and 450 informative illustrations, as well as a detailed appendix, it contains facts, figures and data that are difficult to find in other works or on the Internet.
It is ideal for self-study or as a companion to astronomy courses.
The author Prof. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Keller is the founding director of the Stuttgart Planetarium (1976-2008), professor of astronomy at the University of Stuttgart and director of the Welzheim Observatory.
