For the last four hundred years, women have played a part far in excess of their numerical representation in the history of astronomical research and discovery.
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Almost everything we know about the Universe has come from studying the messages carried by light from outer space.
One of today's leading astronomers takes readers inside the decades-long search for the first galaxies and the origin of starlightAstronomers are like time travelers, scanning the night sky for the outermost galaxies that first came into being when our universe was a mere fraction of its present age.
Dieses eBook: "Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels" ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen.
En la década de 1940 un astrónomo tuvo una de esas ideas que suelen terminar convertidas en un hermoso bollo de papel para jugar al básquet en la oficina: si en la Tierra hay tanta luz y la atmósfera nos empaña los anteojos estelares, ¿por qué no construir un gran telescopio y enviarlo al espacio?
Our Place in the Universe tells the story of our world, formation of the first galaxies and stars formed from great clouds containing the primordial elements made in the first few minutes; birth of stars, their lives and deaths in fiery supernova explosions; formation of the solar system, its planets and many moons; life on Earth, its needs and vicissitudes on land and in the seas; finally exoplanets, planets that surround distant stars.
This book presents in a simple style the success story of modern astrophysics - how the application of known physics to models of stars can, together with the observational data, help us understand what stars are made of, how they live and how they die.
Las ponencias que, bajo ese titulo, se defendieron en la II edicion de la Universidad de Verano de Aras de los Olmos, al tiempo que ponen en valor un patrimonio de una riqueza intangible e inconmensurable, evidencian la potencialidad y versatilidad de la astronomia como fuente de desarrollo para los territorios montanosos con cielos limpios.
