He also includes accounts of his personal observations and voyages, from darkness to light, to witness the sight of these spectacular occurrences aboard the Regal Empress and Dawn Princess. Readers will surely find topics like the discovery of the exploding sun, or nova and explanations of the Moon's Orbit quite fascinating in relation to their academic pursuits.
