Designed for those with basic physics knowledge, it balances scientific rigor with approachable explanations and includes exercises with full solutions, making it ideal for aspiring astronomy professionals and enthusiasts alike. ## Description This well-received textbook has been designed by a team of experts for introductory courses in astronomy and astrophysics. Starting with a detailed discussion of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, it goes on to give a general introduction to normal and active galaxies including models for their formation and evolution. The second part of the book provides an overview of cosmological models, discussing the Big Bang, dark energy and the expansion of the Universe. This second edition has been updated to reflect the latest developments and observations, while still probing the unresolved questions at the forefront of research. It contains numerous learning features such as boxed summaries, exercises with full solutions, a glossary and a supporting website hosting further teaching materials. Written in an accessible style that avoids complex mathematics, and illustrated in colour throughout, this text is suitable for self-study and will appeal to amateur astronomers as well as students. Review: Well written and illustrated, deserves to be re-printed and updated. - Arrived in good condition, if a bit well-used (which was no surprise). The pages are clean, only the edges are slightly soiled and worn. Briefly paged through: the book is well illustrated. The approach and coverage / pedagogy seems appropriate for an undergraduate course for non-majors, i.e. as a breadth course. As with any cosmology astrophysics text printed over five years ago, it is a bit dated, but the basics (aka hot bang physics) is perfectly current (= there still is no answer as to what dark matter or dark energy are other than variables in an equation). Review: Perfect! - Very useful, full course of the Galaxies evolution and Cosmology. I strongly recommend it to anyone who are interesting in this topic. ## Features - Cambridge - open university - Cambridge - Open University ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 43 Reviews | ## Images ![An Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LBkTixs4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written and illustrated, deserves to be re-printed and updated. *by S***R on 24 January 2026* Arrived in good condition, if a bit well-used (which was no surprise).

I did truly appreciate the description of the Milky Way and of the galaxies in the universe, never found anywhere else in such detail. (I'm not an astronomy student, I'm just an interested reader with some physical and matemathical background from scientific studies some thirty years ago...) ## Frequently Bought Together - An Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology - An Introduction to the Sun and Stars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/363897540-an-introduction-to-galaxies-and-cosmology](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/363897540-an-introduction-to-galaxies-and-cosmology) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
