Nakshatrer Gan by Biman Nath [Hardcover]

"Looking at the star-studded sky at night, it feels as though the stars belong to a different world—eternal, infinite, and free from all the dirt and decay of our planet. However, modern astronomy has radically changed these perceptions. Stars, too, change and are not always luminous forever—without dust, new stars cannot be born. Many stars eventually face destruction, their fragments scattering through space in a catastrophic explosion. Often, from the ashes of such stars, a new generation of stars is born.

This book presents these new insights about stars in simple language, accompanied by plenty of illustrations and through an imaginative dialogue. It even references postage stamps and the poetry of Jibanananda. Beyond just providing information about the world of stars, the book explains, in straightforward terms, how scientists gathered this knowledge.

Written by a distinguished astronomer, the book discusses some questions that remain subjects of ongoing research. From school students to those aspiring to explore stars in-depth, everyone will find new information in this book and gain an opportunity to know the stellar universe more closely."
