Följ med på en upptäcktsresa i både tid och rum där astronomer tittar uppåt och försöker förstå vad de ser.I dag finns det både mark- och rymdbaserade teleskop som samlar in universum ljus, inte bara synligt ljus utan även infrarött ljus, radiovågor och röntgenvågor. Med hjälp av dessa tittar vi på solsystemets planeter, supernovor och svarta hål, stjärThe night sky, both beautiful and mysterious, has been the subject of campfire stories, ancient myths and awe for as long as there have been people. A desire to comprehend the Universe may well be humanity’s oldest shared intellectual experience. Yet only recently have we truly begun to grasp our place in the vast cosmos.
