Product Description

内容説明

Ever wondered what dark matter is or why galaxies collide? Or why the Moon is gradually drifting away from Earth? Space is really, really big, as Douglas Adams once pointed out, and there is no better guide to it than Fred Watson, who answers one hundred questions on astronomy, such as: Does the Earth wobble? How do we know there is dark matter? Do collisions of galaxies happen today? What makes planets round? Where is the nearest black hole? Are there other universes? And, how do we measure light years? This highly entertaining and informative introduction to our planet and the universe we live in is a must-read for science-lovers and enquiring minds of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answers to FAQs about the universe, 2009/3/4
学校では、春分と秋分の日は昼と夜の長さが同じと教わりましたが、当日の新聞で日の出と日の入りの時刻を調べると、昼間の時間のほうが少し長いことがわかります。なぜでしょうか。本書は、こういう疑問に丁寧に答えてくれます。

本書は、オーストラリアのラジオ番組で視聴者から寄せられたさまざまな疑問に対する天文学者の回答を集めたものです。身近な現象に関する質問から、太陽の寿命、ETの存在に至るまで、気象、天文に関して一般人のいだく疑問が扱われています。英語は平明な口語調ですから、あまり苦労しないで読むことができます。語り口は軽妙洒脱、とても楽しい読み物です。(本書に目を通していたおかげで、宇宙に興味のある孫から質問攻めにあったとき、立ち往生せずにすみました。)
