Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1976. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Quarto. vii, [1], 38, [2] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Glossary. References and Teaching Aids. Front cover scuffed, some wear to cover and spine edges. Rear cover soiled, rear flyleaf & cover creased, top corner of many pages bent. Outside our Galaxy lies the rest of the universe, populated with multitudes of galaxies and other strange denizens; this is the arena with which the young field of extragalactic astronomy concerns itself. This single-topic brochure is for high school teachers of "physical science." Using it, they may introduce their students to a vital area of modern astronomy. Our goal is to provide a sense of "what has been found out there" by extragalactic astronomers. The material is presented in three parts. Section II provides the fundamental content of extragalactic astronomy. In Section III, modern discoveries are delineated in greater detail, while Section IV summarizes the earlier discussions within the structure of the Big-Bang Theory of evolution. Each of the three sections is followed by Student Exercises (activities, laboratory projects, and questions-and-answers). More

Bhupendra Jasani has an MSc in nuclear physics and a Ph.D. in nuclear physics and nuclear medicine. He joined the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in Sweden in February 1972 before joining, in October 1987, the Royal United Services Institute for Defence Studies, London. In 1984 he conceptualized the Western European Union Satellite Centre, the concept that was realized in 1991 when the Centre was established near Madrid, Spain where he worked training the image interpreters. The Centre is now known as the European Union Satellite Centre supporting the European Union and is one of the key institutions for European Union’s Security and Defence policy. In 1990, he joined the Department of War Studies, King’s College London, University of London where he developed the use of commercial remote sensing satellites for applications to monitor multilateral arms control treaties, confidence building measures and peacekeeping operations by, for example, the United Nations. In 2003 the European Commission (EC) established a study called the Global Monitoring for Security and Stability in which he coordinated treaty monitoring and early warning of conflicts and natural disasters projects using commercial remote sensing satellites. This is now successfully completed. He was a part of an EC funded project, HAWKEYE, which dealt with the development of an air- and space-based hyper-spectral sensor. More
