Unlocking the Universe

Product Information

In April 2019, a remarkable picture was revealed. Taken by the Event Horizon Telescope, a collaboration of eight telescopes, it showed a halo of dust and gas located 310 million trillion miles away from Earth. This achievement was also made possible thanks to the work of programmer Katie Bouman. 17)The Hubble Space Telescope: A Superstar of Scientific Achievement.

Manches wusste ich bereits, anderes war mir neu und umso interessanter, einiges habe ich nur überflogen.Wenn es um irgendwelche Berechnungen und Formeln ging, wäre wohl so ziemlich jede*r Siebtklässler*in ausgestiegen. George's stories are punctuated with fascinating real-life facts and insights from leading scientists and now this incredible non-fiction has been collected into one bumper volume, with new content from key scientific figures and up-to-the-minute facts and figures for readers in 2021. An excellent book that will do wonders to raise enthusiasm for science among young and old readers alike" - Jonali Karmakar, Blogger

Despite its scientific content the essays are written in a very accessible style and the many topics investigated which range from the physical explanations of the universe to earth science to robotics and future predictions. Highly recommended for curious minds from around 10 years upwards" - Sue Warren, Blogger What were those first stars like and when did they form? How did they affect the rest of the universe? These are questions astronomers and astrophysicists have long pondered. An excellent book that will do wonders to raise enthusiasm for science among young and old readers alike. Jonali Karmakar, Blogger Then, for the next 50-100 million years, gravity slowly pulled the densest regions of gas together until ultimately the gas collapsed in some places to form the first stars. Earlier in his career, Hawking worked on the conundrum that these theories presented: The laws that govern the small aren't applicable to large-scale reality, and vice versa.Our solar system’s age is around 4.57 billion years, give or take about 30 million years. In roughly 5 billion years, scientists predict our Sun will grow into a Red Giant. Over 7.5 billion years, its expanding surface will consume Earth. 5)The tallest mountain we’ve found is Olympus Mons on Mars. credit:Photo: ESA/Cluster Meiner Ansicht nach, beschreibt der Klappentext den Inhalt dieses Buches perfekt. Es werden einige wichtige und allen voran spannende Fragen rund um das Thema Universum vereinfacht erklärt und anhand von Skizzen, Illustrationen und sogar ein paar schönen Farbfotos dargestellt. Die einzelnen Beiträge sind übersichtlich, kurz und doch prägnant. Ich habe durch dieses Buch viele neue Dinge erfahren und staune noch immer über all das Gigantische. American physicists Rai Weiss, Kip Thorne and others will be featured on Sunday's show. Weiss and Thorne are Nobel Prize winners whose team designed a massive structure — the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) — that made the first-ever direct detection of gravitational waves as they moved through Earth. The 2015 observations ushered in a whole new era of gravitational-wave astronomy.

Das Universum. Was unsere Welt zusammenhält“ ist übrigens der 4. Band der „Das Universum“-Reihe, das man allerdings unabhängig voneinander lesen kann. A glorious scientific gaze at our world, and the universe beyond in a fact-filled volume that will keep curious kids occupied for ages" - ReadItDaddy blog My 9 y.o. loves this book. We've previously discussed a lot of the concepts, but this seems to answer questions I hadn't thought of, but my son wanted to know"The study also revealed that gas in the universe was probably much colder than expected (less than half the expected temperature). This suggests that either astrophysicists' theoretical efforts have overlooked something significant or that this may be the first evidence of non-standard physics: Specifically, that baryons (normal matter) may have interacted with dark matter and slowly lost energy to dark matter in the early universe, a concept that was originally proposed by Rennan Barkana of Tel Aviv University. The book has vast amount of information ranging from Big Bang to Climate Change. It talks about future and hopes for a civilisation which has capable scientists who solve the major issues we have right now. It can be "you". It is possible to be lost and overwhelmed by the amount of issues we have but a small step, just a single small step will add to the solution. Till we find an alternative to Earth there is no plan B. Divulge into the fact for now that in the range of billions light years only Earth 🌎 supports the intelligent life and understand how important it is to protect this blue ball which we take for granted. Imagine how it feels when you loose a loved one... Whom you took for granted... With Earth 🌍 you would loose a lot more.

A glorious scientific gaze at our world , and the universe beyond in a fact-filled volume that will keep curious kids occupied for ages" - ReadItDaddy blog The discovery was made using the IRAM radio telescope, which focused on a gas cloud called Sagittarius B2 at the center of our galaxy. In this cloud, the telescope detected a chemical called ethyl formate, responsible for the unique scent of rum and the taste of raspberries. 19)Goodbye, Moon! Drifting 1.6 Inches Away from Earth Each Year. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this beautiful collection of up-to-the-minute essays, mind-blowing facts and out-of-this-world colour photographs, by the world's leading scientists including Professor Stephen Hawking himself. It is unlikely that we'll be able to see any earlier into the history of stars in our lifetimes," says Bowman. "This project shows that a promising new technique can work and has paved the way for decades of new astrophysical discoveries." Scientists anticipate that the Moon will eventually break free from Earth’s gravitational pull, but this is a process projected to occur billions of years from now. 20)The term “astronaut” finds its origins in the meaning “star sailor.

As radio waves enter the ground-based antenna, they are amplified by a receiver, and then digitized and recorded by computer, similar to how FM radio receivers and TV receivers work. The difference is that the instrument is very precisely calibrated and designed to perform as uniformly as possible across many radio wavelengths. A useful addition to any library catering to upper primary or lower secondary students. Veronica Forsyth, Reading Time
