Krátky popis
A world-renowned astrophysicist takes us through the huge,
unfolding history of the universeThe night sky is an endless source
of wonder and mystery. For thousands of years it has been at the
heart of scientific and philosophical inquiry, from the first star
catalogues etched into ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets to the
metres-wide telescopes constructed in Chile's Atacama Desert today.
On a clear night it is hard not to look up and pick out familiar
constellations, and to think of the visionary minds who pioneered
our understanding of what lies beyond.In this thrilling new guide
to our Universe and how it works, Professor of Astrophysics Jo
Dunkley reveals how it only becomes more beautiful and exciting the
more we discover about it. With warmth and clarity, Dunkley takes
us from the very basics - why the Earth orbits the Sun, and how our
Moon works - right up to massive, strange phenomena like
superclusters, quasars, and the geometry of spacetime. As she does
so, Dunkley unfurls the history of humankind's heroic journey to
understand the history and structure of the cosmos, revealing the
extraordinary, little-known stories of astronomy pioneers including
Williamina Fleming, Vera Rubin and Jocelyn Bell
Burnell.Illuminating and uplifting, this is your essential guide to
the biggest subject of all.
