Notă biografică
Chengmin Zhang received his Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Hong Kong (China). He then conducted postdoctoral research at IFT-UNESP (Brazil), School of Physics at the University of Sydney (Australia). He also served as a visiting scientist at several international institutions, e.g., Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (Germany), Albert Einstein Institute (Germany), Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (Germany), Mathematical Sciences Institute at Australian National University (Australia). Dr. Zhang is now a research professor at National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and teaching professor at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (China). He is a member of International Astronomical Union and a senior scientist on astrophysics and space science. In addition, Dr. Zhang is a former live guest commentator for the first broadcast of the Chinese Astronauts Space Class (Tiangong) on China Central Television, which has become the most watched space education program in the world, with more than 200 million viewers worldwide, including 60 million secondary school students.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
This is a popular science book surrounding astronauts’ life on the space station. The book not only highlights the weightlessness experience of astronauts and the extraordinary phenomena they witness, but also illustrates the physics behind these events, which opens a new window for readers to explore the outer space. This book is especially fun for those who are curious about the life details of astronauts on the space station. The book is based on real events, and features images and cartoons that vividly depict unusual scenes between the outer space and the earth. Physical principles become easier to understand with these visual aids. During the reading, readers can immerse themselves in the enjoyable adventure of space travel and the strange feeling of weightlessness while having their doubts of every oddity solved. The book elaborates on the interesting contrast between the space and the earth, and provides readers with a stunning new perspective with easily comprehensible language and examples.
Caracteristici
Describes clearly the phenomena of losing weight in space using astronauts’ experiences and experiments Explains the physical causes of the weightlessness by comparing events in space and on earth Uses text and cartoon illustrations to show what happens in gravity and free-fall environments
