Joe Ashbrook wrote a column regularly for the monthly magazine Sky and Telescope. Professor Owen Gingerich  of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics  has helped in the selection of the very best of these timeless vignettes  and he has contributed a foreword to the collection. Each article has been edited  and in some cases modified  to take account of any subsequent discoveries. Articles are grouped into themes covering biography  telescopes  the solar systems  stars and galaxies  and star atlases. Much of the material cannot be found in standard references in the history of astronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647978266677,"sku":"ByrdShop_0933346247","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780933346246.jpg?v=1781700593","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-astronomical-scrapbook-9780933346246","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
