Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Little Book of Stars tells the story of stellar science and what the stars mean to us from a variety of perspectives. Beginning with the 'big picture;' the book moves through progressively more and more intimate views until we feel we can hold the stars in our hands, from which we can then throw them back to the sky to see our place among them. The book opens with a summary of the event that created our Universe, the Big Bang, and then goes on to describe the natures of the Big Bang's progeny, the stars-what they are, how they shine, and how they can live such immensely long lives.
