Autor Mike Inglis

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 ian 2004

One of the wonders of the universe we live in is the Milky Way. It spans the entire sky and can be seen every night of the year from anywhere on Earth. This is the first book that deals specifically with what can be seen within the Milky Way from a practical observer's point of view.Astronomy of the Milky Waycovers every constellation that the Milky Way passes through, and describes in detail the many objects that can be found therein, including stars, double and multiple stars, emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, dark nebulae and supernovae remnants, open and galactic clusters, and galaxies. It also describes the one thing that is often left out of observing guides - the amazing star clouds of the Milky Way itself. It is one of a two-volume set that deal with the entire Milky Way - this second volume looks at what can be seen predominantly from the Southern skies In addition to the descriptive text there are many star charts and maps, as well as the latest up-to-date images made by observatories around the world and in space, as well as images taken by amateur astronomers. Equipped with this book, an amateur astronomer can go out on any clear night of the year and observe the galaxy we live in - The Milky Way.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"Mike Inglis is … well known from numerous amateur astronomers. With its two-book set on the Milky Way … walk along our Galaxy. … these are truly universal books that can be used by any astronomer anywhere in the World. The text is very pleasant and illustrated both by useful charts and a lot of photographies … from various sources. These two volumes constitute, for sure, good fellows for any amateur astronomer." (Philippe Spindel, Physicalia, Vol. 57 (3), 2005)
"Mike’s passion for the subject shines through in his descriptions of the many coloured and double stars, star clusters … . Inglis has taken on a big task. … succeeds very well. … There are many images of deep sky objects … . Their quality is good … . The colour images are nicely reproduced … . This is a super duo of books – a well written observational reference work, recommended for all observers." (Peter Grego, Popular Astronomy, Vol. 52 (1), January-March, 2005)
"The idea … is good, with an interesting selection of well described objects. … nice feature is a coloured fold-out panorama of the entire Milky Way, with constellation outlines. … In summary, this is a useful pair of books on an interesting topic. They include enough objects to keep observers busy … ." (Stewart Moore, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Vol. 114 (3), 2004)

Caracteristici

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This second edition of Mike Inglis's classic guide to observing the Milky Way in the Southern Hemisphere updates all of the science about the target objects with new findings from the astrophysics field. In addition, the book boasts a larger format with entirely re-drawn maps. Newly laid out for ease of use with an increased number of images in color, it updates and improves the first edition to remain the most comprehensive text on the subject. One of the wonders of the universe we live in is the Milky Way, and this book provides a wonderful tour of its highlights for amateur astronomers observing below the equator. In its pages, Southern Hemisphere observers interested in viewing our own galaxy's finest features will find every constellation that the Milky Way passes through with detailed descriptions of the many objects that can be found therein, including stars, double and multiple stars, emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, dark nebulae and supernovae remnants, open and galactic clusters, and galaxies.
The book also details the one thing that is often left out of observing guides - the amazing star clouds of the Milky Way itself. Accompanying the descriptive text there are many star charts and maps, as well as the latest images made by observatories around the world and in space along with those taken by amateur astronomers. This second edition's updated scientific material and an easy-to-use layout perfect for many nights of fruitful observation.
