My limited understanding of astronomy has been expanded. I am now in awe of the sky I observe.

It was all right. It was a textbook.

I recommend this book to those who love astronomy, although I believe there are more current and up-to-date versions. Since I learned nothing from my monotoned professor who taught the class, the book did a great job in explaining the science of the solar system.

Pretty good astronomy book. Also the only text book I've ever read that uses the word "crud."
