The book presents detailed and edited recordings of lectures given in recent years to students of various specialties. The basis for them was the interfaculty course of MSU "Fundamentals of Astronomy" .. These lectures can be used as an introductory course for students of natural sciences (physicists, chemists, biologists, geographers and geologists), as well as mathematicians and engineers who have not previously systematically studied astronomy, but in their work can come into contact with it. Lectures will also be useful for philologists, especially for translators and editors, as they introduce modern astronomical terminology and the most important concepts from the field of space sciences. The previous edition of the book was published in 2018. Two chapters have been added to the present edition: on giant planets and small bodies of the solar system
