    I am planning on indulging into the subject of Astronomy and Astrophysics. I am looking for a book that covers the specific sciences of the universe in detail. One that explains it well and is informative with many facts. Thanks. 😀

    I would also recommend that you read:

    "A Brief History of Time" And "Theory of Everything" By Stephen Hawking.
    His work is exemplary because he has written difficult concepts in a very simplified manner.

    Hello Prodigious J,

    I suggest you a book. Author : H. Kern wrote a book on the book name is " The Aryabhatiya A Manual of Astronomy with Commentary Bhatadipika of Paramadicvara ".

    About The Book : Aryabhata is the earliest known Hindu writer on algebra, and, according to Colebrooke, "If not the inventor, the improver of that analysis," which has made but Little advance in India since. He was born, according to his own account, at Kusuma-pura (Patna), in A.D. 476, and composed his first Astronomical work at the early age of twenty-three. His larger work, the Arya Siddhanta, was produced at a riper age. He is probably the Andubarius (Ardubarius?) of the Chronichon Paschale, and the Arjabahr of the Arabs. Two of his works, the Dasagiti-sutra and Aryashtasata, have been edited by Kern under the title of Aryabhatiya.

    Isaac Asimov has a knack of explaining complex physics concepts to people of other disciplines without much mathematics.
    Here are a list of books on or about astronomy from Asimov:
