Korte beschrijving: The Cambridge Illustrated History of Astronomy traces the history of astronomy as a science, describing in detail the various discoveries that have led to our current beliefs about space and the universe. It shows how speculations based on sky-gazing have formed part of the essential mythology of societies from the earliest times; reveals astronomy to be an exacting and serious science evolving in tandem with geometry and mathematics; and describes the contributions made by great thinkers such as Pythagoras, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton.
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.
