De ontdekking van fenomenen zoals zwarte gaten haalde de algemene relativiteitstheorie van Einstein uit het wetenschappelijke verdomhoekje. De auteur vertelt in dit boek over de frustrerende, opwindende en humoristische gevechten die leidden tot…

Stephen Hawking described it as 'the discovery of the century, if not of all time', yet the scientists who first detected the cosmic radiation that was identified as the afterglow of the big bang had to admit that it was more by accident than…

PhD Thesis
Revealing the dust attenuation in nearby galaxies

This textbook has been designed by a team of experts for introductory university courses in astronomy and astrophysics. Beginning with a description of the structure and history of the Milky Way, it introduces normal and active galaxies in general.…

This introductory textbook has been designed by a team of experts for elementary university courses in astronomy and astrophysics. It starts with a detailed discussion of the structure and history of our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, and goes on to give…

The universe is big. Really big. And it gets bigger every day. In Cosmological Enigmas, Mark Kidger weaves together history, science, and science fiction to consider questions about the bigness of space and the strange objects that lie trembling at…
