| Summary |
What happens when someone or something goes into a black hole? This book introduces some of the major ideas in cosmology, bringing quarks, preons, hypothetical subparticles, pulsars, galaxies, the Big Bang theory, dark energy, and gravitational waves to life with accessible language and vivid full-color art work. The text includes fascinating sidebars and fact boxes that add extra excitement to this look into deep space phenomena. Whether it's about Stephen Hawking or the James Webb telescope, even the most reluctant readers are sure to enjoy this book. |
