À propos de cet audio

 "Over the past century, our vision has taken us far beyond the home Galaxy into the vastness of the Universe, where we find we are hardly alone. As far as we can see there are countless other galaxies of all shapes and sizes set within an ever-expanding space that was created in a "Big Bang" nearly 14 billion years ago. Along with solutions to old puzzles, however, come new riddles, as most of our Universe appears to be in the form of some kind of unseen "dark matter" and incomprehensible "dark energy" whose natures and origins remain unfathomable. Yet with all our questions - and knowing that there are questions still to be asked - we have learned the most important lesson: that all of this Universe is our home, that it took all of it to make us, that it is ours to behold and enjoy.While this course stands on its own, it is also an ideal complement to the first course of the set (Astronomy: Earth, Sky, and Planets), which covers celestial motions, constellations, telescopes, and planetary astronomy, all of it then integrated into a full picture of space and time.©2004 James Kaler (P)2004 Recorded Books Astronomie et science de l’espace Science

What a joy to listen to, the professor, once again delivers fantastic information with an obvious passion and excitement, in a calm natured way.
An understanding of at least the basics would be helpful if listening to this, but topics are explained very clearly and some great analogies given. The subject matter is interesting and in some cases things will be mentioned that have since been performed or figured out.
Highly recommended.

Excellent listen!
