Destinations in Astronomy takes readers on a journey through space and time to visit other locations in our universe allowing students to experience the beauty and awesome grandeur of alien skies. The spacecraft is the imagination, but this engaging book includes a comprehensive mix of everything that modern physics and astronomy have revealed about the nature of different regions of the universe. Readers will see the solar system from beyond the earth; look back at the sun from neighboring stars; travel through our home galaxy to understand its vastness; and embark to distant galaxies far beyond the Milky Way. As readers travel even further from earth, they will learn that they have to travel back in time to see the early universe - a far different place than what we see around use today -- and begin to learn how the galaxies, stars, the Sun, and the Earth came to be.
