La couleur du chaos
L'art et la science convergent
En explorant ses moindres aspects, des trous noirs aux exoplanètes, le télescope Hubble a changé la face de l'astronomie, mais aussi notre propre conscience du cosmos. Pour le 30e anniversaire de la mise en orbite du télescope Hubble, cette édition mise à jour de Expanding Universe présente 30 nouvelles images, révélant de nouveaux joyaux des archives de Hubble.
Ces images de très haute résolution, obtenues malgré la quasi-absence de lumière, ont répondu à certaines des questions les plus captivantes sur le temps et l'espace, tout en révélant de nouveaux mystères comme l'étrange « énergie sombre», qui accélère sans cesse l'expansion de l'univers.
The color of chaos
Art and science converge
With investigations into everything from black holes to exoplanets, the Hubble Space Telescope has changed not only the face of astronomy, but also our very sense of being in the universe. On the 30th anniversary of its launch into low-earth orbit, this updated edition of Expanding Universe presents 30 brand new images, unveiling more hidden gems from the Hubble's archives.
Ultra-high resolution and taken with almost no background light, these pictures have answered some of the most compelling questions of time and space, while also revealing new mysteries, like the strange « dark energy » that sees the universe expanding at an ever-accelerating rate.
« A magnificent selection of pictures... The pictures are processed and displayed with great care, with colors and contrast adjusted to make the scenes as truthful and vivid as possible. »
- Freeman Dyson, The New York Review of Books
« Prepare to be awed ! The Hubble telescope has flung open the doors to our universe, in all its majesty and wonder. This book iterally puts the cosmos in your hands. » - James Cameron
Die farbe des chaos
Wenn kunst und wissenschaft verschmelzen
Um all die fantastischen Spektakel unseres Weltalls erforschen und bestaunen zu können, wuchtete am 24 April 1990 das Space Shuttle Discovery eine kosmische Sehhilfe ins All, die unser Verständnis des Universums nachhaltig veränderte : das Hubble-Weltraumteleskop. In diesem Jahr feiert der « Rockstar der Astronomie » seinen 30. Geburtstag. TASCHEN gratuliert mit einer aktualisierten Ausgabe von Expanding Universe inklusive 30 brandneuen Aufnahmen, die weitere,bislang verborgene Schätze aus den Hubble-Archiven enthüllen.
Ultrahochauflösend und fast ohne Hintergrundlicht aufgenommen, haben diese Bilder einige der fesselndsten Fragen von Zeit und Raum beantwortet und gleichzeitig neue Geheimnisse eines sich immer schneller ausbreitenden Universums enthüllt.
