Description
Since ancient times, humans have turned their gaze towards the stars, overwhelmed by feelings of awe and wonder: What were these tiny celestial lights that accompanied our nights? In recent centuries, humanity has made tremendous scientific progress. We have explained the nature of stars and deeply understood the processes occurring within them, while our spacecraft have traveled to the far reaches of our solar system. But we did not stop there. We now have the ability through our observations to mentally travel and study objects that are billions of light-years away from us, billions of years in the past.
This book is a fascinating journey into the world of Astrophysics and its most impressive aspects. Within its pages, the exotic conditions of the planets in our solar system unfold, the effort to find new "worlds," the epic story of the birth and death of stars, the mysterious black holes and the dazzling quasars, the past and future of the Universe, the search for extraterrestrial life, and many more exciting chapters of Astrophysics and Astronomy.
Through simple explanations of physical phenomena and rich illustrations, the reader will get to know the charm of space exploration and will be able to understand better than ever the position of humans within the Universe.

Did you find this review helpful?Guys, one of the most interesting introductory and explanatory books on astrophysics! I had never read it before, but I had watched Paul's videos online and the book seemed very good for reading and understanding everything I had heard. I think it's a great gift for someone who is starting their journey in this field and proud to be such a young and kind person as shown by his profile on his YouTube channel! Well done Paul, we are looking forward to your next book.

Did you find this review helpful?I present the opinion of a relative of mine, who is a professor of Astrophysics at a university in Europe, and I gave her the book as a gift in order to hear her opinion:
*The insistence on the relatively many significant digits (when giving sizes) is tiresome and detracts from the essence of the information. Both the general public and the expert gain nothing from learning, for example, that the Sun is 109 times larger than the Earth. 100 times carries greater power, meaning it is easier to memorize and conveys the message. The book misses the opportunity to introduce the reader to the concept of "order of magnitude," which is central to astronomy and physics but does not hold a proper place in everyday life.
*The use of footnotes is excessively frequent. It disrupts the flow of the narrative without always adding necessary or substantial information.
*+It is up-to-date and mentions many recent findings that open windows of knowledge on topics that would not be found in slightly older texts (e.g. the Trappist-1 planetary system). There is a risk of quickly becoming outdated. Therefore, it is important to provide the year of the most recent information (record) - as is often done.
*The language is quite dry, and there are many repetitions of words that do not accurately convey the meaning (e.g. "εξάλλου" [after all]).
*It translates "extremely" as "υπερβολικά" [excessively] instead of "εξαιρετικά" [extremely].
*+It addresses and deals with some common misconceptions (e.g. how dangerous a Black Hole is among those that have been discovered).
+The chapters are short enough to be easily read in one sitting.
+Good use of examples to explain certain concepts (e.g. the difference in duration between a stellar and a solar day, page 34).
-The terminology is occasionally "awkward" (in cases where the translation from English is "accurate" but does not adequately convey the meaning in Greek, e.g. translating "Mental picture" as "πνευματική εικόνα" [mental image] instead of "νοητική εικόνα" [conceptual image] would have been preferable).
+The selection and coverage of topics are good.
+Good use of simple graphs and illustrations.
+The edition would benefit from tighter editorial oversight (e.g. there are concepts and phenomena whose explanation is repeated - not obviously for reinforcement. It gives the impression of fragmented writing.
+Overall, there is a strong emphasis on facts and data. Sometimes at the expense of a deeper understanding (which could be provided qualitatively.Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Very well written, incredibly simple and its transmissibility is fantastic.

Did you find this review helpful?Anyone who takes themselves too seriously just needs to read this book to understand how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things happening around us. As for the style of the book and the author, Carl Sagan would be proud, I believe

Did you find this review helpful?Excellent! Very well-written and enjoyable to read, it covers to a great extent the most important topics of astrophysics and space and is easily understandable to every reader without any previous background.
It is also very nice as a gift and I believe it should be present in every home as, while being a pleasant read, it can greatly broaden your horizons and make you see the world and humanity with different eyes.
I hope to see translations in other languages soon, besides Greek

Did you find this review helpful?Nice book, it would be better if there were astrophysics teachers in schools so that students would learn a lot about space. Most children don't know anything about these things
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?It is a very good book to learn astronomy and also very enjoyable to read, as it has images in case someone does not understand the text.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Excellent book! I highly recommend it even to those who don't know much about the universe. This book takes you by the hand and guides you step by step on a beautiful journey. Perfect writing, many images with examples, wonderful.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Really wonderful book. You read it and travel to other worlds.
It is easy to read and has many colorful images. Its pages are glossy and of high quality.
The only negative thing I can find is that it has a soft cover that bends, it should have been published in hardcover even if it was a bit more expensive.
Do not hesitate to get it. It is a gem of a book for your libraryTranslated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?The best thing I have ever bought, I like it so much that I have bought it 5 times (to give it to people I love), I recommend it 100%, you will not regret it!
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?A condensed form of the knowledge shared by Mr. Kastanas already through his educational videos. A jewel of a book for every library. Well-written and not at all tiresome. I recommend it with closed eyes. Just one observation... perhaps it would be better, if you want it for children, to be over 12 years old.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Very nice book if you don't have much knowledge on the subject. Very simplified, it won't tire you with terminology and mathematics. Personally (having read other books and articles and having watched documentaries and videos), I didn't learn anything new except for details. So I would advise you to focus on this. If you're not a beginner, I would recommend more advanced books.
