Korte beschrijving: Igor Novikov has been hailed as "Russia's answer to Stephen Hawking." In this popular account of the cosmic importance of black holes, he explores the properties and significance of these mysterious phenomena, which represent the most condensed state of matter in the Universe. Black holes are formed by the force of gravity, warping space and time, crushing stars and perhaps galaxies, too, until they fall in on themselves. Novikov's fascinating account illuminates this most enigmatic feature of our Universe with exemplary clarity, illustrated with a series of inspired cartoon drawings.
Allsky-camera
Met een allsky-camera (voorzien van een fish-eye lens) wordt de volledige hemel boven de sterrenwacht voortdurend in de gaten gehouden. Dit levert vaak mooie en spectaculaire beelden.
