书籍简介

 如何利用无线电波“聆听”宇宙，彻底改变了我们对从引力到外星人等一切事物的理解。

“充满激情，妙趣横生”——《出版商周刊》星级评论

在太空中，没人能听到你的尖叫。

但宇宙远非寂静无声。它一直在诉说，向那些懂得聆听的人传递着它的故事和秘密。

在《回响的宇宙》一书中，艾玛·查普曼通过射电天文学的科学，带领我们聆听宇宙的声音，了解它试图传达的信息。万物都在发出信号：月球表面、遥远的恒星——甚至可能是外星生命。借助无线电波，我们可以揭示可见光无法展现的景象，窥探那些原本无法到达的领域。即使是金星那环境恶劣的表面，高温、致命的酸雨和巨大的压力会迅速摧毁坚固的探测器，但通过无线电观测，我们也能了解它的秘密。

这次激动人心的探险仅仅是个开始，随着更新、更大的射电望远镜投入使用，我们的好奇心将远远推向银河系的边缘之外。

尽管太空看似寂静无声，《回响的宇宙》却揭示了天文学的未来充满活力与喧嚣。当我们把射电望远镜对准天空，静静聆听时，我们将找到远超肉眼所能观测到的景象。

How learning to “listen” to the universe using radio waves has revolutionized our understanding of everything from gravity to little green men.

“Passionate and witty” –Publishers Weekly, starred review

In space, no one can hear you scream.

But the universe is far from silent. It’s been speaking all along, broadcasting its stories and secrets, for those who know how to listen.

In The Echoing Universe, Emma Chapman tunes us in to the universe and what it is trying to say, through the science of radio astronomy. Everything is sending out signals: the surface of the Moon, distant stars–maybe even extraterrestrials. With radio waves, we can uncover what visible light cannot show us and peer into realms that are otherwise unreachable. Even the hostile surface of Venus, where high temperatures, lethal acid rain, and crushing pressure rapidly annihilate even the hardiest robotic probes, yields its secrets through radio observations.

This exhilarating expedition is just the beginning as new and bigger radio telescopes come into play and propel our curiosity well beyond the edge of our galaxy.

Despite the seeming silence of space, The Echoing Universe reveals that the future of astronomy is loud and vibrant. When we turn our radio telescopes to the sky and simply listen, we’ll discover far more than what our eyes could ever see.
