Our Universe: The Thrill of Extragalactic Exploration As Told by Leading Experts

Our Universe
The Universe in which we live is unimaginably vast and
ancient, with countless star-systems, galaxies and
extraordinary phenomena as strange and different from each
other as black holes, dark-matter, quasars, gamma-ray bursts
and diffuse nearly-invisible galaxies. From our earliest days
humankind has looked to the heavens and wondered in awe.
Our Universe
is a fascinating collection of essays on
extragalactic astronomy and cosmology at the dawn of the
twenty-first century. This is the second in a series of
extraordinary books in which S. Alan Stern has brought
together leading space scientists to describe their work. The
first of these,
Our Worlds
, looked at the faraway worlds of our
solar system, but in this new book we leave our sun behind to
explore the vastness of the Universe itself.
This accessible and wonderfully illustrated book has been
written by some of the world’s foremost astrophysicists. Some
are theorists, some computational modellers, some observers,
but all provide deep insight into the most cutting-edge,
difficult, and bizarre topics of all astrophysics.
Once again, highly personal accounts reveal much more
than the wonders and achievements of modern astronomy,
more than just its techniques and state of knowledge.
Our
Universe
also gives unique perspectives on what drives these
extraordinary, talented scientists and how their careers and
very lives have been shaped by a burning desire to understand
our Universe.
To my parents and their generation,
for opening the door
