This interdisciplinary text book approach to astronomy and forensic science includes unique subjects that are not found in any other book such as: It challenges old established concepts. It encourages creative thinking. It relates to the origin of life on Earth and in the Universe. We are not alone. It discusses, in detail, the Global Warming phenomenon. It explains the formulation and evolution of our solar system. It discovers a novel energy mechanism inside our Sun and inside all of the planets. This turns out to be a major surprise. It covers the important topic of energy and its relationship to our Sun, which is responsible for driving all the important cycles needed for life, (e.g. the water cycle). It determines the steps required to identify an important life-precursor molecule (MgTBP) in the Interstellar Medium. It describes, in detail, the origin of our Moon. It illuminates other dramatic events in the universe that indicate similar solar system developments (e.g. Novas) and dramatic disasters (Supernovas). It describes and illuminates astronomical observations by means of simple and easily understood laws of physics. It covers all the important topics that one expects to find in an introductory astronomy course, in a more readable, user friendly format than other astronomy texts. It is suitable for both senior level High School as well as college courses; it will also make an important contribution in the education of the general public. It is a book that conveys the true spirit of science: its methodology and its mode of inquiry by utilizing the forensic technique throughout.
