Inhaltsangabe

Volume 3 provides the most surprising insights into what lies in our galaxy and then you journey out into the depths of intergalactic space. There is no book that compares with this. You’ll marvel at the diversity of strange stars from double star systems to complex multiple star systems – neutron stars - high energy magnetars – bizarre quark stars – and super-explosive supernovas that produce the weirdest of all stars – black holes! This volume includes the best showcase bright and dark nebulas to observe, as well as amazing planetary nebulas and how they form. There’s a stunning display of open and globular star clusters. There are many images by the world’s leading amateur astrophotographers, as well those by the HST. Examples of star clusters and nebulae are shown as they appear visually in amateur telescopes. The multitude of images of all types of galaxies is unequalled. The structure of the Milky Way is unveiled. This volume displays the best nearby galaxies to observe, striking colliding galaxies, and stunning examples of gigantic superclusters of galaxies. It has remarkable explanations and images of numerous Einstein rings of very distant galaxies that lie far behind superclusters. You’ll see what will occur when the Andromeda galaxy collides with our Milky Way in 2 billion years! Never has any book on astronomy ever published so many high-resolution colour images, many of which are zoomable, to reveal mindboggling detail.
