Problems in Astronomy & Astrophysics

A comprehensive challenge-based guide to the universe.

The material is structured with coherence and logical progression, allowing each chapter to be studied independently. It is useful for preparing students for school astronomy Olympiads, astronomy clubs, and excellence centers. The book is valuable for anyone wishing to learn astronomy, as many problems are designed at a medium level of difficulty, and it also supports teachers interested in creating an optional astronomy course in schools.

Sample Problems

At an age when the concerns of young people of his generation are mainly oriented towards mundane activities or with a limited horizon, Ștefan Tudor goes beyond the horizon, studying the Universe as if it were the home of his soul. He explores, innovates, discovers and wants to pass on what he finds, acquiring knowledge non-formally before learning formally. Reaching, through rational or intuitive knowledge, levels of learning that, some of them, cannot even be reached through formal learning, within the school.
