Publisher's Synopsis
Akagra Mishra reveals the mysteries of space beyond our solar system in this mind-boggling journey of nebulae, galaxies, black holes, and the edges of the visible universe. Join Govert Schilling for a thought-provoking global tour. This journey begins within our solar system with a brief orbit around the sun, planets and moons, asteroids, comets, and small planets. Then we move through the vast ocean, from our galaxy, through our own galaxy, the Milky Way, to distant parts of the universe. We have Schilling as our guide, exploring star births and star nurseries, such as Orion and Carina Nebulae; star deaths, from red giants to catastrophic supernova explosions; and galaxies and galaxies beyond our own including galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and lenticular galaxies. We study the great black holes, astronomers who now believe that they exist in the center of all galaxies including ours, as well as observatories, billions of which are believed to be orbiting stars in the Milky Way and beyond. The book concludes at the end of the universe by looking at dark objects, dark forces, and visions of outer space and the Multiverse.
