Despite their vastly different appearances, these cosmic phenomena have much in common: they are all powered by exotic stars -- black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs -- collectively called compact objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book describes, in accessible language, the physics underlying these phenomena, the historical background that led to their discovery, and the various observational techniques used by astronomers for their exposure. The book contains many spectacular photographs taken with modern telescopes around the world and satellites of different space agencies, as well as illustrations specially prepared by the author to enhance the reading experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Levinson Amir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786345110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786345110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wspc (Europe)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Levinson Amir","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445709025535,"sku":"9781786345110","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc67c6a4-abec-4aea-8da0-b7c742604fd4.jpg?v=1777220157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fireworks-in-a-dark-universe-levinson-amir-9781786345110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
