Conselice, a professional astronomer specializing in galaxies in the early universe, this book tells the story of how astronomers have pieced together what is known about the vast and complicated systems of stars and dust known as galaxies. .The first galaxies appeared as violently disturbed exotic objects when the Universe was only a few 100 million years old. From that tortured beginning, they have evolved though processes of accretion, merging and star formation into the majestic spirals and massive ellipticals that dominate our local part of the Universe. This of course includes the Milky Way, to which the Sun and Solar System belong; it is our galactic home, and the only galaxy we will ever know from the inside. Sheehan and Conselice show how astronomers’ understanding has grown from the early catalogs of Charles Messier and William Herschel; developed through the pioneeringefforts of astronomers like E.E. Barnard, V.M. Slipher, Henrietta Leavitt, Edwin Hubble and W.W. Morgan; and finally is reaching fruition in cutting-edge research with state-of-the-art instruments such as the Hubble Space Tele | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | Milky Way; early universe; guide to the galaxy; history of astronomy; images of our galaxy | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-85347-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-3889-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-85347-5 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015 |
