Description
"This book combines the latest astronomical images and data with descriptions of the recent developments in the study of star and planet formation. The authors discuss isolated star birth in dark clouds, the formation of star clusters and nebulae, the "ecology" of interstellar gas and dust, and the violent starbursts that may produce black holes. The relate these processes to the evolution of galaxies and the origin of life on Earth. Written using non-technical language, The Birth of Stars and Planets will appeal to readers with an interest in understanding the Universe and our cosmic origins. This is an illustrated description of recent developments in star and planet formation."--Jacket.
