Universe

There was a time when people believed that the stars were bonfires lit by other tribes in the sky, that the universe was a flat plate resting on the shell of a giant turtle, and that the Earth, according to the Greek astronomer Ptolemy, was at the center of the universe. From the most remote of times, people have been curious about what lies hidden beyond the celestial sphere. This curiosity has led them to build telescopes that show with clarity otherwise blurry and distant objects. In this book you will find the history of the cosmos illustrated with spectacular images that show in detail how the cosmos was formed, the nature of the many points of light that adorn the night sky, and what lies ahead. You will also discover how the suns that inhabit space live and die, what dark matter and black holes are, and what our place is in this vastness. Certainly, the opportunity to compare the destiny of other worlds similar to ours will help us understand that for the time being there is no better place than the Earth to live. At least for now.
