'A scientific tour de force.' Dr Becky Smethurst'Highly
recommended.' Tristan Gooley'Extravagantly entertaining ... warmly

alien side of space.' Dr Lucy
Rogers.....................................................................................................................................................................................................The
BBC presenter of 'Sky at Night', and Gresham Professor of
Astronomy, Chris Lintott, takes us on an astonishing tour of
bizarre accidents, big characters, and human error to tell the
story of some of the most important astronomical events of the past
hundred years.- Our first views of the earliest galaxies were
brought to us by the Hubble Space Telescope when it was pointed at
absolutely nothing.- The ice-covered Enceladus, one of Saturn's
nearly one hundred moons, was revealed as a possible habitat for
life after a by-chance fly by of NASA's Cassini probe on a mission
elsewhere.- Pulsars, the spectacular remnants of long-dead massive
stars, were discovered as 'scruff' in the data for measurements of
the twinkling of possible radio stars.As new telescopes are built
on mountaintops and in deserts around the world, aiming to
transform our view of the universe once more, Chris Lintott shows
us that keeping an open mind will benefit us all - whatever might
still be out there for us to
find.........................................................................................................................Praise
for Chris Lintott'Superbly written insights.' - Professor Brian
Cox'Chris Lintott is a modest genius. He has quietly revolutionized
modern astronomy.' Brian May'Lintott deftly interweaves personal
experience and more philosophical ruminations.' Michael West,
