The Earth, that trusty old spinning marble we call home, isn't a sphere at all. No, according to some, it is flat as a pancake (or a pizza, if we're being generous). Yet for thousands of people, this is reality – or at least their version of it. The Flat Earth phenomenon isn't new. It has ancient roots, woven into the cosmologies of civilizations long past. But what's fascinating is how, in a time when we can send rovers to Mars, carry pocket supercomputers, and live-stream cat videos from space stations, this belief has not only persisted but thrived.

The determination of stellar ages is crucial for the development of our understanding of the universe and for constraining theoretical models of galaxy formation and planetary system evolution. The ages of stars provide scientists with timescales to identify the relevant physical processes...

Quasars are the brightest sustained phenomena in the known universe—engines of light powered by supermassive black holes devouring matter at the centers of distant galaxies. But they are more than cosmic spectacles. Every beam of quasar light that crosses the universe accumulates an extraordinarily detailed record of the gas, matter, and structure it passes through. The intergalactic medium writes its autobiography in the spectra of quasars, using absorption lines as words and sightlines as sentences.

Seja você um entusiasta da ciência, um pensador profundo ou simplesmente alguém em busca de aventura e sabedoria, este livro promete um refúgio do cotidiano, transportando-o em uma viagem de conhecimento e inspiração.

Ein Blick auf die Erforschung außerirdischen Lebens, die unser Verständnis des Kosmos verändert. Seit Tausenden von Jahren fragen sich die Menschen, ob sie allein im Weltall sind. Zum ersten Mal können wir nun auch die entsprechende Technologie nutzen, um das zu untersuchen. Die Frage nach anderem Leben im Universum sollte eine klare Antwort haben: ja oder nein. Aber wenn man versucht, anderswo Leben zu finden, stellt man fest, dass es nicht so einfach ist. Wie kann man es über kosmische Entfernungen hinweg finden? Was ist eigentlich Leben?

The 2024 solar eclipse promises to be a momentous event, uniting communities and sparking scientific curiosity across North America. As the moon's shadow sweeps across the continent, observers will gather to witness nature's grand spectacle, pondering the mysteries of the cosmos and their place within it. From scientific research to cultural celebrations, the 2024 solar eclipse serves as a reminder of the profound connections between Earth and the cosmos, inspiring wonder and awe in all who behold it.

El ser humano debe integrarse con la inteligencia artificial para superar sus limitaciones biológicas y asegurar su supervivencia en un sistema solar que tiene los días contados. Acepta la invitación a ser parte de la vanguardia en la convergencia tecnológica.

A leading astronomer and gifted teacher takes readers on a wondrous tour of how science confronts the big questions—about the universe’s origins, destiny, and fundamental nature—and how it contends with the limits of our knowledge Humans have learned a lot about the world around us and the...

The James Webb Space Telescope is transforming the universe right before our eyes—and here, for the first time, is the inside account of how the mission originated, how it performs its miracles of science, and what its revolutionary images are revealing. Pillars of Creation tells the story of...

Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868-1953) and Arthur Compton (1892-1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. 

"Universe Deciphered" invites listeners on a transformative journey through the cosmos, uncovering the most profound insights that astronomy has to offer. Bridging the gap between celestial wonder and scientific understanding, this compendium illuminates the mysteries and marvels of the universe through 100 pivotal discoveries. From the early observations of Galileo to the latest findings from space telescopes, "Universe Deciphered" chronicles the advancements that have expanded our knowledge and reshaped our perspective of the cosmos.

Pillars of Creation: Is a poem based around the rekindling of interest in them from the the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995.

In The Allure of the Multiverse, physicist Paul Halpern tells the epic story of how science became besotted with the multiverse, and the controversies that ensued. The questions that brought scientists to this point are big and deep: Is reality such that anything can happen, must happen? How does quantum mechanics "choose" the outcomes of its apparently random processes? And why is the universe habitable? Each question quickly leads to the multiverse. 

Trous noirs, exoplanètes, les nouvelles techniques d'observation en astronomie ont permis d'extraordinaires découvertes. Une résolution beaucoup plus fine des images. Durant les dernières décennies, de nouveaux instruments d'observation situés sur Terre et dans l'espace ont, grâce à des progrès dans la résolution des images, donné lieu à des découvertes extraordinaires. Trous noirs et exoplanètes : des découvertes extraordinaires. Pierre Léna décrit ici ces innovations instrumentales et s'attarde sur deux découvertes majeures récentes.

L'Univers a-t-il une forme ? En s'intéressant au contenu visible de l'univers, aux planètes, aux étoiles et aux galaxies, on oublie parfois le contenant invisible, l'espace lui même. Celui-ci est-il un simple réceptacle passif ? A-t-il une forme, une structure ? Est-il fini ou infini ? Est-il courbe, plat, lisse ou grumeleux ?Une présentation des différents modèles cosmologiques. Jean-Pierre Luminet présente les grandes lignes des démarches cosmologiques actuelles et des formes possibles de l'univers.

Jean Pierre Luminet nous invite à un voyage fascinant qui, de la Grèce antique à nos jours, explore les métamorphoses de l'infini. De manière toujours accessible, il aborde l'infini de l'espace avec la cosmologie, celui des nombres avec les mathématiques et les mystères de l'infiniment petit dans la matière avec la physique quantique.

Un Univers en expansion - La cosmologie est l'étude de l'Univers dans son ensemble. En expansion depuis 15 milliards d'années, son histoire est jalonnée d'événements cosmiques : fabrication de la matière, génération du rayonnement cosmologique, apparition des galaxies... La cosmologie est aujourd'hui devenue une science, relativiste depuis le début du XX° siècle.Une histoire de nos nos connaissances sur l'Univers. Marc Lachièze-Rey retrace ici les grandes lignes de l'évolution des idées et des principes qui fondent nos connaissances sur l'Univers.

One of Scientific American’s Best Books of 2024 One of the world’s leading astrobiologists takes us on an awe-inspiring journey across the cosmos to investigate some of humanity’s most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? And how did life on Earth begin? We are in a golden age...

Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 - September 28, 1953), born in Marshfield, MO, was an American astronomer who played a crucial role in establishing the fields of extragalactic astronomy and observational cosmology. Hubble proved that many objects previously thought to be clouds of dust and gas and classified as "nebulae" were actually galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Hubble's name is most widely recognized for the Hubble Space Telescope, which was named in his honor. The following is a 1945 recording of Hubble's lecture at the New York Philharmonic.
