书籍简介

从多年的设计和制造到发射和部署，再到非凡的图像和它们所传达的新科学，《无限宇宙》展示了詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜的启示——人类有史以来看到的清晰的行星景观和深邃的宇宙视野。

恒星在宇宙尘埃云中形成。木星及其卫星比我们以前看到的更清晰。数十亿年历史的星系。詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜 (JWST) 的图像震惊了世界——它们所揭示的丰富信息让科学家感到惊讶。在《无限宇宙》中，国家地理讲述了这架望远镜 20 年的发展历程，以及将其送入距离地球一百万英里的太阳轨道所需的科学壮举。一页又一页地展示了 100 多张壮观的照片，以特别的方式描绘了宇宙，从鹰状星云“创生之柱”中凝聚的星尘到闪闪发光的星系、新发现的系外行星、深空恒星场以及我们太阳系的行星，这些照片都栩栩如生。这本书是这些历史性天文成就的专业印刷记录，是一本激发敬畏和钦佩的书，非常适合太空和航空航天爱好者、图书馆以及任何仰望星空的人。

From the years of design and manufacturing through launch and deployment to the extraordinary images and the new science they inform, Infinite Cosmos showcases the revelations coming from the James Webb Space Telescope―the sharpest planetary vistas and the deepest views of the cosmos humankind has ever seen.

Stars forming in clouds of cosmic dust. Jupiter and its moons sharper than we’ve ever seen them. Galaxies billions of years old. The first images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have electrified the world―and astonished veteran scientists with the wealth of information they reveal. In INFINITE COSMOS, National Geographic tells the 20-year saga of the telescope’s development and the feats of science needed to send it into orbit around the sun, a million miles from Earth. Page after page showcase more than 100 spectacular photographs picturing the cosmos as never seen before, from stardust coalescing in the Eagle Nebula’s “pillars of creation” to glittering galaxies, newly discovered exoplanets, deep-space fields of stars, and the planets of our solar system in vivid detail. The definitive printed record of these historic astronomical accomplishments, this is a book that inspires awe and admiration, perfect for space and aerospace enthusiasts, libraries, and anyone who looks up in wonder at the starry skies.

作者简介
