Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

THE INVISIBLE UNIVERSE is a tour of the universe in a magnificent large-format volume with over 50 of Malin's photographs and accompanying engaging text. A wonder of artistry, technical wizardry, and scientific interest, it promises to be a phenomenon: the ultimate gift book on a subject that has fascinated mankind for centuries. The luminous colour photographs of distant stars and galaxies are thought to be more accurate in colour and sharpness than digital images from the Hubble Space Telescope. The text is geared toward the general reader, but the book also features a glossary and appendices of astronomical information relating to the objects pictured to inform the more serious student of astronomy. THE INVISIBLE UNIVERSE is both beautiful and scientifically illuminating.
