Infrared Astronomy – Seeing the Heat: from William Herschel to the Herschel Space Observatory delves into the work in astronomy that relies on observations in the infrared. Author David L. Clements,a distinguished academic and science fiction writer,explores how the universe works,from the planets in our own Solar System to the universe as a whole.
The book first presents the major telescopes in the world of observational infrared astronomy,explains how infrared light is detected through various kinds of telescopes,and describes practical problems that send infrared astronomers to the tops of mountains and their telescopes into orbit and beyond. Much of the book focuses on what infrared astronomers find in their observations. You'll discover what infrared astronomy reveals about the planets,moons,and other bodies that constitute our Solar System; star formation and stellar evolution; the processes that shape galaxies; and dark energy and dark matter.
Infrared astronomy has revolutionized our understanding of the universe and has become essential in studying cosmology. Accessible to amateur astronomers,this book presents an overview of the science and technology associated with infrared astronomy. With color figures,it shows you how infrared astronomy provides insights into the workings of the universe that are unavailable at other wavelengths.
