IT IS VERY TRUE THAT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ASTRONOMY THEN THE STUDY OF MATHS AND PHYSICS IS ESSENTIAL. SOME MAY FIND THESE SUBJECTS VERY INTRICATE AND COMPLICATE YET THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE TO THIS. STILL, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE SPACE JUST FOR THE SAKE OF INTEREST. FOR PEOPLE WITH SUCH OPEN MINDS, THIS BOOK IS A BLESSING. AS WE TURN PAGES AND MOVE FORWARDS ON THE PATH OF LINES BASED ON THE CELESTIAL BODIES, WE COME TO KNOW MORE AND MORE ABOUT THEM. IN HER FLOWING STYLE, THE AUTHOR INTRODUCES US TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANETARY SYSTEM. THE BOOK DOES NOT END HERE. THERE ARE MANY PLANETS OUTSIDE OUR PLANETARY SYSTEM. THE WAY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM IS DIFFERENT. THE AUTHOR TAKES US THERE REVEALING THE FACTS ABOUT THEM. SHE MAKES HER INFORMATION INTERESTING BY SHADING IN VIBRANT COLOURS. THE ARTICLES INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK ARE BASED ON VARIETY OF TOPICS SUCH AS VARIOUS TYPES OF BINOCULARS, THE UNIVERSE THAT OPENS BEFORE US THROUGH THESE BINOCULARS, THE MIRACLES LIKE GRAVITATIONAL LENSES ETC. SHE HAS EVEN USED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE STEADY STATE OF UNIVERSE AND THE BING BANG CONCEPT WHICH HAVE NOT YET BEEN UNDERSTOOD FULLY BY THE GREAT MANY SCIENTISTS.
खगोलशास्त्राचा अभ्यास करायचा झाल्यास किचकट गणित व भौतिकशास्त्र अशा गंभीर विषयांना तोंड द्यावे लागते. मात्र खगोलशास्त्रातील गणित व भौतिकशास्त्र वगळून जर त्यातील फक्त मनोरंजक माहिती मिळवायची इच्छा असेल, तर त्याने प्रस्तुत पुस्तक जरूर वाचावे. हलक्या पुÂलक्या भाषेत खगोलशास्त्राशी तोंडओळख करून देता देता लेखिका आपल्या सूर्यमालेतील सभासदांविषयी माहिती देते. तसेच सूर्यमालेबाहेरील विविध परग्रह, ते शोधण्याच्या पद्धती, तारे व ताNयांचे रंग यासंबंधी माहिती देते. विविध प्रकारच्या दुर्बिणी, त्यातून होणारे ब्रह्मांडाचे दर्शन, गुरुत्वीय भिंगांसारखे चमत्कार, तर विश्वनिर्मितीसंबंधी अजूनही समाधानकारक विवेचन न मिळाल्याने शास्त्रज्ञांनी मांडलेले ‘बिग बँग’, ‘स्टेडी स्टेट युनिव्हर्स’ इ. सिद्धान्त विविध लेखांद्वारे लेखिकेने मांडले आहेत.
