{"product_id":"nebulae-star-clusters-galaxies-wolfgang-steinicke-9783749451784","title":"Nebulae Star Clusters Galaxies","description":"Nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies are outside our solar system. They belong to the 'deep sky' and lead the observer to great distances and at the same time the view goes far into the past. The light of the most distant galaxies took billions of years to reach us. No less fascinating is our home galaxy, the Milky Way, offering many bright nebulae and star clusters. The book covers three important topics related to deep-sky objects: history, astrophysics, and observation. When beginners observe an object visually, not knowing anything about it, they will only perceive a faint spot of light - nothing really exciting. So, to get the right 'cosmic' feeling, the view should be enriched with stories about the object's discovery, distance, physical nature, or evolution. Supplied with this kind of information, deep-sky observing becomes a fascinating activity - braving the cold and darkness. Over time, advanced fields such as observation techniques or astrophotography come into play. The book informs the reader about all these topics and offers a comprehensive collection of interesting targets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolfgang Steinicke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3749451788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783749451784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Books on Demand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.35d","brand":"Wolfgang Steinicke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986418172159,"sku":"9783749451784","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_225b1002-1d0a-45d7-bb93-b5e699c5a80b.jpg?v=1683283242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nebulae-star-clusters-galaxies-wolfgang-steinicke-9783749451784","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
