VOYAGER: 101 WONDERS BETWEEN EARTH AND THE EDGE OF THE COSMOS
Book ID/图书代码： 00970010B42495
English Summary/英文概要： You are about to embark on a journey that will take you to the edge of the Universe and the beginning of time. You will cross 46.5 billion light years of space, exploring 101 celestial wonders ranging from comets to quasars. You will encounter grandeur on an astonishing scale, beauty in the most unexpected places, and the most shocking natural violence.
You start on Earth, nestled in the Orion Spur of the Milky Way Galaxy, near the centre of the Local Group of galaxies, gravitationally bound to the Virgo Supercluster, but the entire Universe is now yours to explore. You will see sand dunes snaking across the northern plains of Mars, driven by the winds of spring.
You will soar above alien cloudscapes of fluorescing gases, and burrow into the secret nests of new stars hidden within. You will watch hypergiant stars tear themselves to pieces and witness the insatiable appetite of supermassive black holes. You will see galaxies collide and superclusters gather like motes of dust on a cosmic web that stretches from one side of the Universe to the other.
Your journey is organized into four zones, each representing a distinct cosmic dominion: interplanetary, interstellar, intergalactic and, finally, intertemporal. Each celestial realm is home to its own unique inhabitants, its own cycles of life and death, and each has its own origins, its own ultimate fate. As you move from zone to zone, so the pace of your journey increases. Your first interplanetary steps are measured in mere light seconds, your final strides in the intertemporal zone are measured in giga-light years.
Voyager’s grand tour of space offers and unrivalled portrait of our cosmic habitat. Quite simply, there is no better way to see the Universe. It is suitable for anyone looking for a popular introduction to the workings of the universe that combines amazing state-of-the-art photography with a concise and accessible text. This is a perfect family reference purchase as well as a the perfect Christmas gift.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你将要踏上一个将你带到宇宙边缘和时间起点的旅程。跨过465亿光年的空间，探索从彗星到类星体等101个天体奇观。你会面对一个惊人面积的壮丽景象，在最意想不到的地方目睹美丽，以及最令人震惊的自然力量。从地球开始，穿过银河系的猎户座轨道，靠近本星系群的中心，被引力束缚的室女座超星系团，现在你可以探索整个宇宙。你将会看到沙丘由春天的风吹动着在北部金星上蜿蜒移动。
你将会在发光气体形成的云朵上翱翔，并隐藏在新恒星组成的秘密洞穴中。你会看超巨星化成碎片，见证超大黑洞贪得无厌的胃口。你会看到银河星系碰撞和超星系团聚合在一起，就像是宇宙大网上的尘埃微粒，从宇宙的一侧延伸到另一侧。
你的旅程共分为四部分，每一部分都分别代表着宇宙的一部分：太阳系，恒星，银河系，最后跨越整个宇宙。每个天体领域都有自己独一无二的栖所，存亡周期，而且每个天体都有自己的起源，以及自己最终的命运。在你从一个区域转移到另一个区域时，旅行的空间也在增加。你跨进太阳系的第一步是以光秒为单位，最终大步地跨越太阳系间也是以千兆光年来衡量的。
旅行家的太空之旅为我们带来了一副宇宙的肖像画。简单地说，这是观看宇宙最好的途径。它十分适合那些想要找寻结合惊人尖端技术照片和简洁易懂文字的宇宙简介的人。这是家庭购物一个完美的参考，同时也是一个完美的圣诞礼物。
