Bad Astronomy offers lively, clear explanations of the most widely held astronomy myths and misperceptions, from why the sky is blue to the reasons we have seasons. Chapter by chapter, author Phil Plait wipes the stardust from our eyes, revealing bad astronomy related to the Earth, our moon, and the night sky; as well as various space hoaxes and frauds, and examples of bad astronomy in the movies.(P)2020 Tantor Media Astronomy Astronomy & Space Science History History & Philosophy Science
