International Year of Astronomy 2009

Discover the world of Astronomy with Wiley-Blackwell

Man's fascination with contemplating the stars, planets, moons, the sun, comets and solar eclipses has had a significant effect on the cultures and landmarks of China, Egypt, Europe and Latin America. For over 400 years, telescopes have been giving people the kind of fascinating insight into our galaxy and the Milky Way that previously could never be dreamt of, with Galileo and Kepler using their findings to form the basis of modern astronomy.

Wiley-Blackwell is proud to share in the enthusiasm for Astronomy- here you will find wonderful books, illustrated volumes, journals and magazines all about astronomy as well as conferences, events and a variety of further links on the subject.
