Omschrijving
World-renowned astronomer Paul Murdin tells the stories of key astronomical discoveries.
'‘Crammed with fascinating facts and figures’ ' - Observatory Magazine
'‘This is the book to reignite your sense of wonder’' - National Space Society
'‘Good reading … I can do no more than strongly recommend it’' - Astronomy Now
'While being consistent and fluid as a whole, each chapter equally serves as a perfect stand-alone essay … it’s an excellent book to see the amateur astronomer through those cloudy nights. Five stars' - BBC Sky at Night
Paul Murdin, OBE, has worked as an astronomer in the UK, the USA, Australia and Spain, and discovered the first stellar black hole, Cygnus X1. He is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, former president of the European Astronomical Society and Senior Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge. In 2012 Asteroid 128562 was named ‘Murdin’ by the IAU in honour of his contributions to the field. His book Secrets of the Planets was published in 2019.
