Constellations

This book offers a unique combination of the history of astronomy and the latest research findings. The 88 historical constellations serve as starting points for virtually all major achievements in modern astronomy: be it the first proven black hole in the constellation Cygnus, the first gamma-ray burst in Orion, or the edge of the visible universe in the constellation Ursa Major. Govert Schilling takes us on a journey to these constellations and to the highlights of modern astronomy. In addition to the constellation portraits, the discoveries made there are also presented in detail.
