Vesmír v tweetech


Marcus Chown a Govert Schilling nás vezmou na jedinečnou exkurzi po vesmíru.Odvětí na vše, počínaje základními úvahami - Proč je obloha v noci temná? Proč se hvězdy třpytí? - až po ty nejzáludnější - Co jsou to kvasary? či Co předcházelo Velkému třesku? Některé otázky v této geniálním způsobem informativní publikaci se ukazují být stejně překvapivé jako odpovědi na ně. Je možné, že veškeré galaxie, které jsme schopni pomocí dalekohledů spatřit, nejsou ničím jiným než optickým klamem? Dalo by se na Saturnově měsíci, Titanu, plavat? Jak je možné, že Měsíc nespadne na Zemi? (Ukáže se, že to mimochodem není vůbec hloupá otázka.) A byl by Saturn v dostatečně velké vodní nádrži nadnášen?

Constellations


Perfect for stargazers and armchair astronomers of all ages, CONSTELLATIONS is a beautifully illustrated, fascinatingguide to all 88 constellations, including an illustrated star map for each. In CONSTELLATIONS, award-winning astronomy writer Govert Schilling takes us on an unprecedented visual tour of all 88 constellations in our night sky. Much more than just a stargazer's guide, CONSTELLATIONS is complete history of astronomy as told by Schilling through the lens of each constellation. The book is organized alphabetically by constellation. Profiles of each constellation include basic information such as size, visibility, and number of stars, as well as information on the discovery and naming of the constellation and associated lore. Beyond details about the constellation itself is information about every astronomical event that took place or discovery made in the vicinity of the constellation. In the constellation of Cygnus (the Swan) we encounter the location of the first confirmed black hole. A stop at Gemini (the Twins) is a chance to say hello to the dwarf planet Pluto, and in Orion (the hunter) we find the location of the first identified gamma-ray burst. Stunning star maps throughout the book by acclaimed star mapmaker Wil Tirion show us the exact location of every constellation, the details of its structure, as well as its surrounding astronomical neighbors.
