The book "50 ideas You really need to know: Universe" — Джоан Бейкер50 ideas You really need to know: Universe. На протяжении тысячелетий человечество смотрело в изумлении на ночное небо, отслеживало движение планет и пыталось объяснить свое место во Вселенной. Но только в наше время осознало истинный масштаб и удивительное разнообразие космоса. Темпы последних научных открытий были захватывающими, их часто трудно понять, а их влияние трудно полностью оценить.
