David J. Eicher Bücher

Eine Reise durch die unglaublichen Weiten unseres Kosmos mit atemberaubenden Fotografien des Hubble-Weltraumtelekops und erdbasierter Forschungsobservatorien, von denen viele hier erstmals veröffentlicht werden. Tauchen Sie ein in die Geschichte der Sternenbeobachtung und der Erforschung des Weltraums, erfahren Sie, wie unsere Milchstraße entstanden ist, Galaxien klassifiziert werden und wie schwarze Löcher Galaxien mit Energie versorgen. Eine faszinierende Expedition zu den Rändern unserer Galaxis und den Wundern des Universums mit einem der anerkanntesten Astronomieexperten als Reiseführer.

Tour the incredible scope of the cosmos as we know it with the editor in chief of Astronomy, featuring jaw-dropping illustrations and full-color photography from the magazine's archives, much of it never before published."The natural history of the galaxies is majestic and deserves its own David Attenborough. In David Eicher, it may have just found him."--Richard DawkinsJourney to the edges of our galaxy and beyond with one of the most widely recognized astronomy experts as your guide. Delve into the history of stargazing and space observation, learn how black holes power galaxies, and understand the classification of the different galaxy types. This illuminating book--with artful illustrations and never-before-seen space photography--will open your mind to the wonders of the universe that await.

Amazing 3-D images take readers inside the birth and death of stars.This visually amazing volume, with text and 3-D images, takes readers inside the birthplace of stars--the cosmic clouds called nebulae. Nebulae (from the Latin for "cloud" or "fog") are stellar nurseries, frequently intermingled with clusters of young stars. Seen in the night sky, they glow, energized by the new stars within and around them. Cosmic Clouds 3-D offers hundreds of magnificent images of nebulae captured by ground-based and space telescopes. Along with the high-resolution views of nebulae are unique stereo views that show the nebulae in three dimensions.As we observe the birth of stars in these great clouds of gas, we are peering into the world of infant suns, seeing a process that for our own Sun took place some 4.6 billion years ago. The story of elements in nature, of why we are here, of our cosmic roots, is strongly tied to the story of stars in our galaxy and universe. And that means exploring the lives of stars, how stars come to be, what happens during their lifetimes, and how they, too--like humans--eventually die. We may not all know it, but we are part of the biggest recycling program that exists--the birth, life, and death of stars.A 3-D viewer, designed by astrophysicist (and lead guitarist with the rock group Queen) Brian May, is included with the book.
