My boys love learning about Astronomy so we were very excited with this month’s Moms of Masterbooks’ review item this month. The New Astronomy Book 
About the Book:
The universe is an amazing declaration of the glory and power of God! Beautiful and breathtaking in its scale, the vast expanse of the universe is one that we struggle to study, understand, or even comprehend in terms of its purpose and size. Now take an incredible look at the mysteries and marvels of space in The New Astronomy Book!
- Discover the best ways to observe the heavens, along with up-to-date astronomical data and concepts
- Learn about the dynamics of planets, starts, galaxies, models for the cosmology of the universe
- What we know and are still trying to discover about planets, moons and comets without our own solar system.
If you watch the starts at night, you will see how they change. This speaks to the enormity and intricacy of design in the universe. While the stars appear timeless, they instead reflect an all-powerful Creator who speaks of them in the Bible. Many ancient pagan cultures taught that the changing stars caused the seasons to change, but unlike these pagan teachings, the Book of Job gives credit to God for both changing stars and seasons (Job 28:31-33). When Job looked at Orion, he saw about what we see today, even though he may have lived as much as 4,000 years ago.
All in all we have really enjoyed this book. It isn’t part of our curriculum this year, but that still doesn’t mean that we can’t do additional learning. The boys and I have really learned from reading this 96 page book and were surprised to find a poster at the end!!
The New Astronomy Book can be purchased from NLPG for $16.99.
