From time immemorial people have looked up with wonder & awe to the starry sky above. Stone-age man formed patterns from the random positions of stars & projected into them their visions of their gods. From these superstitions beginnings developed the science of astronomy. In Mapping the Universe world-renowned astronomer Professor Paul Murdin, Senior Fellow at the Cambridge Institute of Astronomy & former Director of Science at the British National Space Centre, takes us on a journey which traces how our understanding of the Universe has evolved. We see how astronomers have always used the newest & most advanced technology of their time to analyze the trace messages of light & other radiations sent by distant heavenly bodies to our own planet, Earth. Nearly half a century ago mankind left the first dusty footprints on the surface of the Moon & today it is now possible to send spacecraft to the nearest of the heavenly bodies as proxies for human explorers. This lavishly illustrated & painstakingly researched book, with beautifully reproduced facsimile documents, enables the reader to experience first-hand what astronomers have discovered over ten thousand years of history, & how & why this is significant, all the way to our present space-age understanding of the Big Bang.
