Understanding, by Dr. Cynthia Phillips, of the SETI Institute, and Shana Priwer, will help you stargaze with authority. This book not only gives clear descriptions of the many theories of the origin of the of the universe, it provides facts about the planets, moons, and stars in language that anyone can understand, completely free of perplexing astro-jargon. In addition, Understanding Astronomy debunks popular myths about some of the most common features of the starry night. For instance, find out why the Big Dipper is not an actual constellation, and why a shooting star isn't really a star at all!
