It describes the vast amount of observational data that the new generation of observatories and telescopes are currently producing, and how that data might solve some of the outstanding puzzles inherent in our emerging world view. Included are questions such as: What is causing the Universe to blow itself apart? What could be powering the luminous gamma-ray bursters? Where is all the matter in the Universe? Do other Earths exist? Is there intelligent life out there? The renowned author explains clearly, without recourse to mathematics, why each question is puzzling and worthy of research. Included in the study of the wide range of sensitive and powerful instruments used by scientists to try and solve these problems are ones which capture electromagnetic radiation and ‘telescopes’ for cosmic rays, neutrinos, gravitational waves, and dark matter. .This book discusses twelve areas of active astronomical research, ranging from the nature of dark energy to the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial ci | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | Active astronomical research; Cosmic rays; Dark matter identification; Electromagnetic radiation; Gravit | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2194-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-2193-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-2194-8 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 |
