Joseph A. Angelo (Author)
Space, final frontier, has piqued imagination people millennia. Written by author several other books space astronomy at level accessible to general reader, this one-volume encyclopedia provides current, authoritative information. The approximately 3,000 alphabetically arranged entries range length from single sentence several pages. Sample entries include Alvarez, Luis Walter; Apollo Project; Astrochimp(s); Big bang (theory); Collins, Eileen Marie; Copernicus, Nicholas; Cosmology; Extraterrestrial civilizations; National Solar Observatory; Radio astronomy; Robotics space; Rocketry; Sun; Unidentified flying object (UFO); Voyager spacecraft. Fifteen special essays cover topics beyond nuts bolts. We learn that, just like poets have proclaimed, we really made stardust; Walt Disney popularized idea space travel; satellites function switchboards in sky; people of Earth have unintentionally been leaking radio frequency signals into galaxy since middle of twentieth century.
Appendixes include bibliography print resources, an extensive listing Web sites, lengthy chronology significant events space astronomy, table basic planetary data, and 13-page table how planets, moons, asteroids, comets, other celestial objects named. A well-constructed index provides subject access to contents. About 200 black-and-white line illustrations photographs supplement text.
This work provides more in-depth coverage topics than Firefly Encyclopedia Astronomy (2004), although Firefly volume uses color illustrations photographs supplement text and refore has more visual appeal. The four-volume Encyclopedia Astronomy Astrophysics (Institute Physics, 2001), written an academic professional audience, is far more comprehensive (and refore more expensive) set is particularly suited academic large public libraries. The Facts On File encyclopedia recommended libraries need a general encyclopedia space astronomy.
