Amazing 3-D images take readers inside the birth and death of
stars.This visually amazing volume, with text and 3-D images, takes
readers inside the birthplace of stars--the cosmic clouds called
nebulae. Nebulae (from the Latin for "cloud" or "fog") are stellar
nurseries, frequently intermingled with clusters of young stars.
Seen in the night sky, they glow, energized by the new stars within
and around them. Cosmic Clouds 3-D offers hundreds of magnificent
images of nebulae captured by ground-based and space telescopes.
Along with the high-resolution views of nebulae are unique stereo
views that show the nebulae in three dimensions. As we observe the
birth of stars in these great clouds of gas, we are peering into
the world of infant suns, seeing a process that for our own Sun
took place some 4.6 billion years ago. The story of elements in
nature, of why we are here, of our cosmic roots, is strongly tied
to the story of stars in our galaxy and universe. And that means
exploring the lives of stars, how stars come to be, what happens
during their lifetimes, and how they, too--like humans--eventually
die. We may not all know it, but we are part of the biggest
recycling program that exists--the birth, life, and death of stars.
A 3-D viewer, designed by astrophysicist (and lead guitarist with
the rock group Queen) Brian May, is included with the book.
