With this newly revised Ninth Edition of THE SOLAR SYSTEM, the authors' goals are to help you use astronomy to understand science–and use science to understand what we are. Fascinating, engaging, and visually vibrant, this text will help you answer two fundamental questions: What are we? And how do we know?
By the question "What are we?" we mean: How do we fit into the universe and its history? The atoms you are made of had their first birthday in the big bang when the universe began, but those atoms were cooked and remade inside stars, and now they are inside you. Where will they be in a billion years? Astronomy is the only course on campus that can tell you that story, and it is a story mat everyone should know.
By the question "How do we know?" we mean: How does science work? What is the evidence, and how do we use it? For instance, how can anyone know mere was a big bang? In todays world, you need to think carefully about die things so-called experts say. You should demand evidence, not just explanations. Scientists have a special way of knowing based on evidence that makes sciendfic knowledge much more powerful than just opinion, policy, marketing or public relations. It is the human race's best understanding of nature. To comprehend the world around you, you need to understand how science works. Throughout this book, you will find boxes called How Do We Know? They will help you understand how scientists use the methods of science to know what the universe is like.
