ASTRONOMY takes the reader from Chaldean times down through the 20th century flybys of Uranus & Halley's Comet, covering all aspects of this endlessly fascinating subject.
A gift from my grandfather, the book that sparked my love of physics.
About 80% of the now-known moons of Jupiter are missing and I can imagine there are probably some odd hot takes sprinkled in, so if I were to give a gift like this, I might choose something a bit more modern or more tailored for a 7 year old, but then again, you never really know what will stick with you for life.
