Astronomy 2e: (OpenStax audio textbook)
About this audiobook
The OpenStax Astronomy 2e audio textbook is produced by Audileo, an official OpenStax Technology Partner. The audiobook recording has been created from the March 2025 web version of Astronomy 2e by OpenStax. It may be more up-to-date than the textbook published in 2022.
Some text with complex formulas has been omitted from this recording.
Designed to meet the scope and sequence of your course, Astronomy 2e is written in clear non-technical language, with the occasional touch of humor and a wide range of clarifying illustrations. It has many analogies drawn from everyday life to help non-science majors appreciate, on their own terms, what our modern exploration of the universe is revealing. The book can be used for either a one-semester or two-semester introductory course.
This is an audio adaptation of Astronomy 2e by OpenStax. You can access the textbook as pdf for free at openstax.org. Minor editorial changes were made to ensure a better listening experience.
