Edwin Hubble
Author: G.E Christianson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351453866
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
Edwin Hubble: Mariner of the Nebulae is both the biography of an extraordinary human being and the story of the greatest quest in the history of astronomy since the Copernican revolution. The book is a revealing portrait of scientific genius, an incisive engaging history of ideas, and a shimmering evocation of what we see when gazing at the stars. Born in 1889 and reared in the village of Marshfield, Missouri, Edwin Powell Hubble-star athlete, Rhodes Scholar, military officer, and astronomer- became one of the towering figures in twentieth-century science. Hubble worked with the great 100-inch Hooker telescope at California's Mount Wilson Observatory and made a series of discoveries that revolutionized humanity's vision of the cosmos. In 1923 he was able to confirm the existence of other nebulae (now known to be galaxies) beyond our own Milky Way. By the end of the decade, Hubble had proven that the universe is expanding, thus laying the very cornerstone of the big bang theory of creation. It was Hubble who developed the elegant scheme by which the galaxies are classified as ellipticals and spirals, and it was Hubble who first provided reliable evidence that the universe is homogeneous, the same in all directions as far as the telescope can see. An incurable Anglophile with a penchant for tweed jackets and English briars, Hubble, together with his brilliant and witty wife, Grace Burke, became a fixture in Hollywood society in the 1930s and 40s. They counted among their friends Charlie Chaplin, the Marx brothers, Anita Loos, Aldous and Maria Huxley, Walt Disney, Helen Hayes, and William Randolph Hearst. Albert Einstein, a frequent visitor to Southern California, called Hubble's work "beautiful" and modified his equations on relativity to account for the discovery that the cosmos is expanding.

"John Bandicut deserves a rest. Rescuing Earth from a wayward comet wasn't accomplishment enough, and neither was saving two other worlds from imminent disaster. Exiled from his homeworld and traveling with an eclectic group of aliens - including a quarx in his head - he has been plucked from one mission to another, and from one end of the galaxy to another, and he and his companions are tired." "Would it be too much to ask, when they arrive at an interstellar waystation, that they receive a little RR, and maybe even some answers? Apparently so. Hyperspatial gravity waves shake the station repeatedly, and they're getting stronger. These shock waves merely hint at the trouble brewing in the nearby Starmaker Nebula, better known to Bandicut as the Great Orion Nebula. What's the cause of the disturbance? No one knows. The company's task is to find out - not just because their RR center is threatened with destruction, but because sentient stars in the nebula are dying. And the danger could ripple out over thousands of light-years, threatening uncounted worlds - including Earth." "Aboard a ship called The Long View, Bandicut and his band of exiles journey not just into the perils of a star-forming nebula, but into a confrontation with the Mindaru, a billion-year-old adversary of life as they know it. Whatever chance they have of stopping the terrifying Mindaru may be found only in the fiery heart of an intelligent sun."--BOOK JACKET.
