It links the new with the traditional, showing how astronomy has advanced at increasing pace in the modern era. In the second decade of the twenty-first century astronomy has seen the beginnings of a revolution. After centuries when all our information about the Universe has come via electromagnetic waves, now several entirely new ways of exploring it have emerged. The most spectacular has been the detection of gravitational waves in 2016, but astronomy also uses neutrinos and cosmic ray particles to probe processes in the centres of stars and galaxies. The book is strongly oriented towards measurement and technique. Widely illustrated with colourful pictures of instruments their creators and astronomical objects it will also be backed with descriptions of the underlying theories and concepts, linking predictions, observations and experiments. The thread is largely historical, although obviously it cannot be encyclopaedic. Its point of departure is the beginning of the twentieth century and it aims at being as complete as possible for the date of completion at the end of 2020. The book addresses a wide public whose interest in science is served by magazines like Scientific American: lively, intelligent readers but without university studies in physics. 001438484 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 4, 2021). 001438484 650_0 $$aAstrophysics. 001438484 650_0 $$aGravitational waves. 001438484 650_0 $$aElectromagnetic waves. 001438484 650_0 $$aNeutrino astrophysics. 001438484 650_6 $$aAstrophysique. 001438484 650_6 $$aOndes gravitationnelles. 001438484 650_6 $$aOndes électromagnétiques. 001438484 650_6 $$aNeutrino-astronomie. 001438484 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001438484 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030683710$$z9783030683719$$w(OCoLC)1228322147 001438484 830_0 $$aAstronomers' universe. 001438484 852__ $$bebk 001438484 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-68372-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001438484 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1438484$$pGLOBAL_SET 001438484 980__ $$aBIB 001438484 980__ $$aEBOOK 001438484 982__ $$aEbook 001438484 983__ $$aOnline 001438484 994__ $$a92$$bISE
