Korte beschrijving:
This textbook has been designed by a team of experts for introductory university courses in astronomy and astrophysics. Beginning with a description of the structure and history of the Milky Way, it introduces normal and active galaxies in general. A wide range of cosmological models are then presented, including a discussion of the Big Bang and Universe expansion. The text contains numerous useful learning features such as boxed summaries, student exercises with full solutions, and a glossary of terms. It is also supported by a website hosting further teaching materials. Written in an accessible style that avoids complex mathematics, the book is suitable for self-study.
Tentoonstelling
In bezoekerscentrum Cozmix is er permanent een interactieve tentoonstelling. Tijdens een groepsbezoek wordt hier extra uitleg gegeven maar de tentoonstelling is ook uitermate geschikt om zelf de wonderen van ons heelal te ontdekken.
