Marc Lachièze-Rey retrace ici les grandes lignes de l'évolution des idées et des principes qui fondent nos connaissances sur l'Univers.

Stargazing has shaped the entire course of human civilization. The rhythm of our ancestors' lives revolved around the stars, from cycles of agriculture to patterns of birth. How radically different would humanity be if our ancestors had looked up to the night sky and seen...nothing? In lyrical yet evidence-grounded meditations, Trotta imagines a world without stars, a dramatic alternate history in which we wouldn't understand gravity, where couldn't navigate or have much sense of time, and where our sense of the profound - of art and of the divine - was altered beyond recognition.

Pillars of Creation: Is a poem based around the rekindling of interest in them from the the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995.

This brilliant book by Rabbi Dr. Zev Zahavy pursues a bold and dynamic theme that foresees the possibility that science and theology may harness their energies in a unified endeavor, and thereby assume a creative role of leadership in formulating a meaningful outlook for a bewildered, aimless society. A new power structure of science and theistic existentialism will direct humankind along sensible paths of behavior, particularly since civilization stands at a crossroads wherein the cosmological destiny of the human species appears to be at stake. The analysis of the cosmic drama is offered ...

L'Univers a-t-il une forme ? En s'intéressant au contenu visible de l'univers, aux planètes, aux étoiles et aux galaxies, on oublie parfois le contenant invisible, l'espace lui même. Celui-ci est-il un simple réceptacle passif ? A-t-il une forme, une structure ? Est-il fini ou infini ? Est-il courbe, plat, lisse ou grumeleux ?Une présentation des différents modèles cosmologiques. Jean-Pierre Luminet présente les grandes lignes des démarches cosmologiques actuelles et des formes possibles de l'univers.

Trous noirs, exoplanètes, les nouvelles techniques d'observation en astronomie ont permis d'extraordinaires découvertes. Une résolution beaucoup plus fine des images. Durant les dernières décennies, de nouveaux instruments d'observation situés sur Terre et dans l'espace ont, grâce à des progrès dans la résolution des images, donné lieu à des découvertes extraordinaires. Trous noirs et exoplanètes : des découvertes extraordinaires. Pierre Léna décrit ici ces innovations instrumentales et s'attarde sur deux découvertes majeures récentes.

Jean Pierre Luminet nous invite à un voyage fascinant qui, de la Grèce antique à nos jours, explore les métamorphoses de l'infini. De manière toujours accessible, il aborde l'infini de l'espace avec la cosmologie, celui des nombres avec les mathématiques et les mystères de l'infiniment petit dans la matière avec la physique quantique.

「はじめに」より 本書で紹介する宇宙思考のポイントは、次の3つです。①宇宙において、見えるもの、そして知ることができることは、視点に依存しており、視点に限られています。

In this book, the age-old existential human questions such as ‘what is love, what is suffering, what does it mean to be alive’, are addressed anew, but this time from the larger context of the Universe story as articulated through contemporary science. The book draws on philosophy, the major insights emerging from cosmology and personal reflection to postulate a more relational, compassionate and sustainable vision of humanity for the future.

Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 - September 28, 1953), born in Marshfield, MO, was an American astronomer who played a crucial role in establishing the fields of extragalactic astronomy and observational cosmology. Hubble proved that many objects previously thought to be clouds of dust and gas and classified as "nebulae" were actually galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Hubble's name is most widely recognized for the Hubble Space Telescope, which was named in his honor. The following is a 1945 recording of Hubble's lecture at the New York Philharmonic.

Cosa succederebbe se la Terra orbitasse attorno a un buco nero? E se dalla sua superficie sparissero tutti gli oceani? E se venisse colpita da una supertempesta solare? E il Sole, appunto: se un giorno levassimo il naso all'insù senza più vederlo? Se qualcuno volesse improvvidamente tentare di spegnerlo con una gigantesca secchiata d'acqua? (Spoiler: sarebbe una pessima idea.) E la Luna! Cosa accadrebbe se una notte in cielo ne spuntassero due? Raddoppierebbe la poesia o ci ritroveremmo non esattamente nelle condizioni ideali per apprezzare la cosa?

In the vast expanse of the universe, where the night sky reveals countless stars, planets, and galaxies, the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. Among the many tools at the disposal of astronomers and astrophysicists, photometry stands as a beacon of precision and insight. This book, Photometry: Science, Sensitivity, and Its Connection to Astronomy, is your guided journey into the fascinating world of measuring and interpreting light in the cosmos.

Qual è il futuro dell’uomo nell’universo? Siamo soli nel cosmo? Esistono altre Terre che l’umanità può colonizzare? Queste sono solo alcune delle domande a cui Giovanni Covone, professore di astrofisica, cerca di dare risposta puntando lo sguardo in alto, verso il cielo e le stelle. Perché la storia della ricerca astronomica è antica quanto l’uomo stesso, dai primi, rudimentali eppure brillanti tentativi di studiare le stelle a occhio nudo, fino alle ultime missioni spaziali, svolte con l’ausilio di enormi, modernissimi telescopi.

Y si existiera una cuarta dimensión espacial que no pudiéramos percibir? ¿Y si el tiempo, que nos parece una realidad implacable, no fuera más que una ilusión de nuestra mente? ¿Y si nuestro universo fuera sólo uno de los muchos que integran un complejo multiverso inflacionario? Estas preguntas, que parecieran derivadas de un guion de ciencia ficción o propias de un temperamento esotérico, constituyen algunos de los planteamientos más rigurosos de la física moderna. Y son la fascinante materia de este libro.
