Space Exploration: Royal Observatory Greenwich Illuminates

Royal Observatory Greenwich Illuminates #3

by Dhara Patel

Space is far bigger than humanity can conceive. Although our ancestors visually examined the skies to make sense of the Universe for centuries, space exploration in its truest sense is just a moment in this historical timeline, yet it is how we've significantly improved our understanding of the cosmos. This book begins with the evolution of astronomy, including notable characters, scientific breakthroughs and pinnacle moments. It delves into the development of robotic spacecraft and what uncrewed and crewed missions have uncovered. It questions how this knowledge will aid us in our future space adventures, and highlights the myriad questions that remain unanswered. From stargazing to stepping on the Moon, and from space stations to the prospect of commercial spaceflight, learn more in Dhara Patel's concise history of space exploration.

Libricino interessante e coinvolgente, poche nozioni ma valide. In definitiva è più una narrazione della corsa allo spazio tra USSR e USA
