Produktinformationen "100 Stars That Explain the Universe"
Our own Sun-a source of awe, myth, and mystery for untold generations of sky-gazers-is just one of roughly two hundred billion trillion stars. Together, they're a window into the profoundest questions in physics-overturning, again and again, how we understand light, matter, time, and existence itself. Florian Freistetter explains all this and more, in brief, easy-to-read profiles of the hundred most history-making stars, inviting readers to gaze into the past and future of the universe alongside a stellar cast of scientists- from Annie Jump Cannon, who revolutionized how we classify the stars, to Dorrit Hoffleit, who first counted them.
