Book excerpt: The cosmos comes to life in this truly spectacular look at our ever-expanding universe through the lens of the Hubble telescope. "Gasp-worthy photographs. . . . This title should be essential reading." --The Bulletin Have you ever wished you could travel back in time? Visit a galaxy light-years away? See a star being born? The Hubble telescope has allowed scientists to do just that. Its dazzling images have transformed astronomy, shedding light on the deepest mysteries of the cosmos and helping scientists find new galaxies and look back in time nearly to the big bang. Through the eye of the Hubble, Elaine Scott skillfully guides readers along the evolution of our universe, investigating a question that was once unanswerable: "Where did we come from?"
Download or read book Deep Space written by Govert Schilling and published by Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, Incorporated. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join award-winning astronomy writer Govert Schilling on a journey through space and time to the most far-reaching corners of the universe in this stunning photographic voyage into deep space. This one-of-a-kind trip begins inside our own solar system with a brief tour of the sun, the planets and their moons, asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. We then accelerate into deep space and, with Schilling as our guide, we explore the birth of stars in the Orion and Carina Nebulae; the death of stars, from red giants to catastrophic supernova explosions; and galaxies and galaxy clusters beyond our own including spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and lenticular galaxies. We learn about supermassive black holes, which astronomers now believe exist at the center of every galaxy including our own, and exoplanets, billions of which are believed to be orbiting stars in the Milky Way and beyond. The book concludes at the edge of the cosmological horizon with a look at dark matter, dark energy, and theories of extraterrestrial life and the Multiverse. With hundreds of photographs, including new images from the James Webb Space Telescope, and custom illustrations throughout, as well as a star atlas that shows the full celestial sky, Deep Space is the perfect book for astronomy buffs, students, and anyone fascinated with the mystery and beauty of the cosmos.

Download or read book Time Space Stars Man written by M. M. Woolfson and published by Imperial College Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most well-read, but non-scientific, people will have heard of the term OC Big BangOCO as a description of the origin of the Universe. They will recognize that DNA identifies individuals and will know that the origin of life is one of the great unsolved scientific mysteries. This book brings together all of that material. Starting with the creation of space and time OCo known as the Big Bang OCo the book traces causally related steps through the formation of matter, of stars and planets, the Earth itself, the evolution of the Earth''s surface and atmosphere, and then through to the beginnings of life and the evolution of man. The material is presented in such a way that a non-scientist can comprehend it, without using formulae or equations but still preserving the integrity of the involved science. This book does not solve the mysteries of what initiated the Big Bang or how life evolved from inanimate matter, but it does make clear the nature of those problems. The reader will be left with a sense of wonderment that he or she actually exists!
Download or read book Time Space Stars Man written by Michael Mark Woolfson and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three greatest scientific mysteries, which remain poorly understood, are the origin of the universe, the origin of life and the development of consciousness. This book describes the processes preceding the Big Bang, the creation of matter, the concentration of that matter into stars and planets, the development of simple life forms and the theory of evolution that has given higher life forms, including mankind.There are many popular and excellent science books that present various aspects of science. However, this book follows a narrow scientific pathway from the Big Bang to mankind, and depicts the causal relationship between each step and the next. The science covered will be enough to satisfy most readers. Many important areas of science are dealt with, and these include cosmology, particle physics, atomic physics, galaxy and star formation, planet formation and aspects of evolution. The necessary science is described in a narrative form that general-interest readers should understand, without the use of equations or formulae.This 2nd edition includes several updates on the subjects that form the pillars of this book. They are: cosmology and astronomy, the features and formation of the solar system, the origin of life, and genetics and evolution. This book will appeal to readers with an interest in biology and those curious about the origins of the universe.

Download or read book The Stars and The Earth written by Felix Eberty and published by Comino Verlag. This book was released on 2015-11-28 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable work reads in part like science fiction, although it is based on solid scientific facts. The author turns the tables – or the light beam – and has observers look down on the earth from stars located at a variety of distances out in space. (…) This idea was crucial for the special theory of relativity: Time travels with light. (...) Einstein would later supply the scientific foundation for these kinds of fantasies. Jürgen Neffe: Einstein – A Biography (2005) It is one of the most strikingly suggestive books, and small though it is, one of the most remarkable of the present century. Richard A. Proctor, Honorary Secretary of the Royal Astronomical Society (1880) ... it contains a fund of deep thought which larger works on astronomical subjects have seldom developed. It is most logically written. Step by step, from undeniable premises, does the writer prove his point, until the omniscience of the great one Deity is made apparent to our mental vision, and in an extraordinary new and clearer light. Dolman's Magazine (1846) It is one of the most poetical ideas which the human mind can entertain, — an idea which is not merely chimerical and imaginary, but based on scientific facts, and logically true. We wonder it has never been hit upon before. Family Herald (1846)

Download or read book Cosmos written by Giles Sparrow and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent vault of stars emblazoning Earth’s night skies are but an infinitesimal fraction of the hundreds of billions that inhabit our galaxy – and there are at least as many galaxies in the universe as there are stars in the Milky Way. Cosmos makes sense of this dizzying celestial panorama by exploring it one step at a time, illustrating the planets, moons, stars, nebulae, white dwarfs, black holes and other exotica that populate the heavens with some of science’s most spectacular photographs. The book opens with an orbital survey of planet Earth, before venturing into the solar system heading for interstellar space and the heart of our galaxy. As the journey unfolds, the rhythms of stellar life emerge: we pass through dark clouds of dust and gas ablaze with newly smelted stars and we witness dying stars bloom and fade as planetary nebulae, or tear themselves apart as supernovae. Having crossed the Milky Way, we enter intergalactic space. Out here we watch the hidden lives of galaxies: we see them flock and cluster, forming massive conglomerations that span millions of light years, visibly warping space with their tremendous gravity. After covering an almost unimaginable 13.4 billion light years, we approach the edge of space and the dawn of time where our voyage must end, but not before we consider how the universe was born, and how it might die.

Download or read book Space at the Speed of Light written by Dr. Becky Smethurst and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the big bang to black holes, this fast-paced illustrated tour of time and space for the astro-curious unlocks the science of the stars to reveal fascinating theories, surprising discoveries, and ongoing mysteries in modern astronomy and astrophysics. Before the big bang, time, space, and matter didn't exist. In the 14 billion years since, scientists have pointed their telescopes upward, peering outward in space and backward in time, developing and refining theories to explain the weird and wonderful phenomena they observed. Through these observations, we now understand concepts like the size of the universe (still expanding), the distance to the next-nearest star from earth (Alpha Centauri, 26 trillion miles) and what drives the formation of elements (nuclear fusion), planets and galaxies (gravity), and black holes (gravitational collapse). But are these cosmological questions definitively answered or is there more to discover? Oxford University astrophysicist and popular YouTube personality Dr. Becky Smethurst presents everything you need to know about the universe in ten accessible and engagingly illustrated lessons. In Space at the Speed of Light: The History of 14 Billion Years for People Short on Time, she guides you through fundamental questions, both answered and unanswered, posed by space scientists. Why does gravity matter? How do we know the big bang happened? What is dark matter? Do aliens exist? Why is the sky dark at night? If you have ever looked up at night and wondered how it all works, you will find answers--and many more questions--in this pocket-sized tour of the universe!
Download or read book After the Beginning written by Norman K. Glendenning and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a brilliant flash about fourteen billion years ago, time and matter were born in a single instant of creation. An immensely hot and dense universe began its rapid expansion everywhere, creating space where there was no space and time where there was no time. In the intense fire just after the beginning, the lightest elements were forged, later to form primordial clouds that eventually evolved into galaxies, stars, and planets. This evolution is the story told in this fascinating book. Interwoven withthe storyline are short pieces on the pioneering men and women who revealed those wonders to us."--BOOK JACKET.
