NEWTON HIGHLIGHT Newton Highlight 136 Universe Atlas
Description
Book Introduction
The core of the universe summarized in 200 keywords
The universe has a history and size that is truly difficult to imagine.
There are that many 'members' and countless phenomena are occurring.
But how much do we really know about space? "Nebulae," "exoplanets," "black holes," "Big Bang," and so on... The universe is filled with terms and concepts we've all heard of, but find difficult to clearly explain.
Aren't there surprisingly many cosmic keywords? "Cosmic Encyclopedia," the 136th book in the "NEWTON HIGHLIGHT" series, carefully selects 200 cosmic keywords and provides detailed explanations, divided into five themes.
Chapter 1 is themed around the history of space exploration by mankind.
This book introduces how humanity has approached the true nature of the universe, including the transition from geocentrism to heliocentrism, the scale of the universe beyond our galaxy, and a cosmology that acknowledges the existence of various types of universes, along with key keywords.
Chapter 2 is themed around the 100 billion to hundreds of billion stars scattered across the night sky.
The lives of stars are varied, but every star has a truly beautiful and spectacular end.
Chapter 2 introduces keywords that trace the life of such stars from their birth to their end.
The closest object to us in the universe and the one that has been actively observed since ancient times is the solar system.
Chapter 3 examines keywords related to the eight planets centered around the sun, their satellites, dwarf planets, and minor celestial bodies in the solar system, as well as constellations that are closely related to our lives.
Our solar system belongs to a galaxy called the Milky Way.
It is said that there are more than 100 billion galaxies in the universe, and their shapes and activities are diverse.
Chapter 4 introduces various keywords related to galaxies, including our own Milky Way.
A field that has made a great contribution to the development of astronomy is space observation.
Chapter 5 introduces the history of great observations in the history of astronomy, as well as keywords related to probes and telescopes currently in operation or scheduled for operation in the future.
If you follow the keywords in this book one by one, you will soon become well-versed in the universe.
Also, I recommend that you always open this book whenever you encounter space-related terms.
It's a book you'll want to keep on your desk and always refer to, and I think it'll be worth the price.

Publisher's Review
● The core contents of the universe are clearly organized into 5 topics and 200 keywords.
As the saying goes, 'the universe is infinite', there are countless celestial bodies, phenomena, and concepts in the universe.
It is common to find ourselves searching for a specific field of the universe, a specific phenomenon, or a specific term.
In this book, 200 keywords, which can be considered core among them, are divided into five topics: ‘History of Space Exploration,’ ‘Life of Stars,’ ‘Solar System and Constellations,’ ‘Galaxies,’ and ‘Space Observation.’
When studying space, we've organized the major classification criteria so that you can easily find the terms you're curious about.
● 230 graphic images that visually confirm the main content of each keyword
The celestial bodies we can see with the naked eye are the sun, the moon, a few planets, and thousands of stars.
However, there are countless celestial bodies and phenomena in the universe.
Thanks to advances in science and technology, we can now see celestial bodies and phenomena that were previously invisible to the naked eye.
Even galaxies 13 billion light years away… .
This book provides the core content of 200 keywords through approximately 230 photos and illustrations.
It will be of great help in understanding the universe with detailed explanations from experts.
● Reflects all the latest research results in the rapidly developing field of astronomy.
Ptolemy, Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler… .
They were the 'giants of astronomy' who observed the universe with the naked eye, established the geocentric and heliocentric theories, and explained the movements of planets and stars.
They were also geniuses who observed the movements of other celestial bodies floating in space from the Earth, a celestial body 'floating' in space, and explained them scientifically.
Since then, humanity has made remarkable progress in the field of astronomy, along with advancements in mathematics, physics, and various technologies, and now we are discussing the birth of the universe 13.8 billion years ago.
This book reflects even the latest research findings in astronomy, providing a detailed guide to today's astronomy scene.
● In-depth content is explained in detail and in an easy-to-understand manner.
The science magazine Newton aims to convey core scientific concepts through graphics.
With easy-to-understand and detailed explanations from world-class experts, Newton's scientific books occupy a unique position not found elsewhere.
In this book, “The Great Atlas of the Universe,” Newton’s know-how is fully demonstrated.
As you follow the book's explanations step by step, you will soon find yourself becoming well-versed in the universe.
● The best science books that have received rave reviews from readers - Newton Highlights Series
Newton produces scientific articles with outstanding illustrations and rare photographs, following an editorial policy of explaining the core content of science with precise graphics.
The 'Newton Highlights Series' is a scientific monograph that selects only the articles that have received favorable reviews from readers and organizes them in a new format.
Sister volumes such as “Theory of Relativity,” “Quantum Theory,” “The Human Body and Advanced Medicine,” “The Periodic Table,” “The Brain and Neurons,” “Differential and Integral Calculus,” “The Mysterious World of Mathematics,” and “Middle and High School Physics” are also selling well.
