Condition: Muy bueno. On July 23, 1999, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, the most powerful X-ray telescope ever built, was launched aboard the space shuttle Columbia. Since then, Chandra has given us a view of the universe that is largely hidden from telescopes sensitive only to visible light. In Chandra's Cosmos, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Chandra science spokesperson Wallace H. Tucker uses a series of short, connected stories to describe the telescope's exploration of the hot, high-energy face of the universe. The book is organized in three parts: "The Big," covering the cosmic web, dark energy, dark matter, and massive clusters of galaxies; "The Bad," exploring neutron stars, stellar black holes, and supermassive black holes; and "The Beautiful," discussing stars, exoplanets, and life.Chandra has imaged the spectacular, glowing remains of exploded stars and taken spectra showing the dispersal of their elements. Chandra has observed the region around the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way and traced the separation of dark matter from normal matter in the collision of galaxies, contributing to both dark matter and dark energy studies. Tucker explores the implications of these observations in an entertaining, informative narrative aimed at space buffs and general readers alike. Seguir leyendo CRÍTICASWhenever astronomers have looked at the universe with new eyes, they have made fundamentally new discoveries. This book masterfully describes the discoveries of one such set of eyes, the Chandra X-ray Telescope, sensitive to some of the highest-energy phenomena in the universe. From black holes to dark matter, from exploding stars to cosmic rays, this book has it all. Michael A. Strauss, author of Welcome to the Universe: An Astrophysical TourChandra's Cosmos is a richly rewarding account of recent discoveries in astronomy and cosmology, including galaxy clusters, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and more. Astronomer and veteran science writer Wallace Tucker welcomes the reader with aa down-to-earth conversational tone and historical and literary references, as well as accurate reporting. In the end, we are left in awe with how much we've learned about our vast cosmos, and how much remains a mystery.Alan Lightman, Professor of the Practice of the Humanities, MIT and author of Einstein's Dreams, The Accidental Universe, and many other booksIn Chandra's Cosmos, Wallace Tucker explains how the Chandra X-Ray Observatory has played a critical role ?in our understanding of the universe. When we deployed Chandra, the third of NASA's four Great Observatories, from the space shuttle Columbia in 1999, we knew it had the potential to do for X-ray astronomers what the Palomar telescope had done for optical astronomers. In the almost two decades since its launch, Chandra has exceeded all our expectations and has given us critical insight into the invisible universe of X-ray astronomy and the energetic processes that produce X-rays. One remarkable scientific discovery that Chandra helped to confirm is the existence of dark matter and dark energy, which make up about 95 percent of the universe and about which we know almost nothing. No doubt Chandra will help us solve that problem in years to come. In the meantime, Tucker tells us the story of the evolution of our understanding of the remaining 5 percent of the universe in a way that will capture the interest of anyone who has pondered the nature of the cosmos.Steven A. Hawley, Professor, Physics and Astronomy, University of Kansas, and astronaut, STS-93, Chandra Deployment MissionPUBLISHERS WEEKLYTucker (Revealing the Universe, with Karen Tucker), science spokesperson for the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Chandra X-ray Center, relates the history of NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the purpose for which it was constructed. When Chandra was launched in 1999 aboard the space shuttle Columbia, astrophysicists hoped the x-rays it observed emitting from the hottest r.
