EXTREME COSMOS
Book ID/图书代码： 13600010B40219
English Summary/英文概要： The universe is all about extremes. Space has a temperature 270°C below freezing. Stars die in catastrophic supernova explosions a billion times brighter than the Sun. A black hole can generate 10 million trillion volts of electricity. And hypergiants are stars 2 billion kilometres across, larger than the orbit of Jupiter.
Extreme Cosmos provides a stunning new view of the way the universe works, seen through the lens of extremes: the fastest, hottest, heaviest, brightest, oldest, densest and even the loudest. This is an astronomy book that not only offers amazing facts and figures but also reveals the remarkable richness of the universe and the incredible physics that modern astronomy has unveiled.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 宇宙都是关于极值的问题。太空温度为零下270摄氏度。恒心在比太阳亮十亿倍的灾难性超新星爆炸中死亡。一个黑洞能产生1000亿亿伏特电量。超特巨星横贯20亿公里，比木星的轨道更大。《极值宇宙》透过极值的镜头看事物：最快、最热、最重、最亮、最老、密度最大，甚至最嘈杂的，为宇宙是如何诞生的问题提供了绝妙的新观点。这是一部天文书，不仅能够为您提供惊人的事实和数据，也揭示出现代天文学未能发现的卓越而丰富的宇宙和不可思议的天体物理现象。（LNL）
