Lars Lindberg Christensen è un autore e uno specialista della comunicazione scientifica che dirige il gruppo dell'Information Centre del telescopio spaziale Hubble dell'Agenzia Spaziale Europea (HEIC) a Monaco, in Germania. È responsabile della divulgazione e dell'istruzione per il Telescopio Spaziale Hubble della NASA/ESA in Europa presso l'Osservatorio Australe Europeo (ESO/ST-ECF). Il suo lavoro si concentra sul rendere accessibile l'affascinante mondo dell'astronomia a un pubblico più ampio.
The book enables you to peer deeply into the wonders of the Universe in full color with unprecedented clarity and resolution Only Hubble Heritage picture book endorsed by the two leading space agencies, NASA and ESA Close-up photos within book are unmatched in competing texts, because the images have been prepared straight from the data by scientists to reach the highest possible quality
"ESO's 50th anniversary. This sumptuously illustrated book contains the best 300 of ESO's images, hand-picked from a large collection of more than 100 000 images"--Publisher description.
Our eyes are the result of an evolutionary adaptation to the sun's light. Since the sun is a G dwarf and emits most of its light in only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, our eyes are very limited in their capability to show us the universe. This book shows the fundamental change in our perception by covering the full spectrum of light. The authors' unique skill in both science and science communication allows for a popular writing style, with an emphasis on what cannot be seen with our eyes. They make many comparisons with high-color images to reveal what is actually taking place behind the veil. They also make good use of their access to the most striking images in the field, creating full-color illustrations as needed. In addition, boxes and diagrams provide overviews of the instruments used.
This practical guide offers comprehensive advice on science communication, covering product types, target groups, and various communication methods. It includes clear explanations, illustrative examples, and checklists for efficient workflows, making it valuable for both new and experienced science communicators seeking high-quality outreach products.
Das Buch ist Teil der Aktivitäten der ESA, der Europäischen Raumfahrtagentur, anlässlich des 15. Geburtstages des Hubble Weltraumteleskops. Dieses Teleskop ist eines der bekanntesten, populärsten Wissenschaftsgeräte überhaupt, nicht zuletzt durch die spektakulären Bilder in Printmedien. Dieses Werk enthält prachtvolle Bilder zu diversen Phänomenen des Kosmos, erklärt durch kurze, verständliche Texte. Eine DVD mit umfangreichem Bild- und Filmmaterial ergänzt das Werk.
Kollidierende Galaxien bieten faszinierende Bilder am Himmel, wenn sie mit dem hochauflösenden Hubble-Weltraumteleskop beobachtet werden. Dieser Bildband dreier ESO-Spezialisten aus dem Hubble-Team von NASA und ESA enthält spektakuläre Astroaufnahmen, die illustrieren, wie die Gravitation die Massenbewegungen im Kosmos orchestriert – und ganze Galaxien ineinander stürzen lässt. Diese gewaltigen kosmischen Kollisionen könnten die Struktur unseres heutigen Universums maßgeblich beeinflusst haben, indem sie die Energie lieferten, die neue Sterne entstehen ließ.
Adopted as the official book of the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) 2009, this stunningly illustrated history of telescopic discovery ranges from the first telescopes via the Hubble Space Telescope to next generation platforms. Includes the official 59-min IYA DVD.
