Look into the hazy river of stars that flows across the night sky and you gaze into the center of our Galaxy. Over two hundred and fifty thousand trillion miles away, amid the bright star clouds of Sagittarius, lies the point about which the Milky Way’s 200 billion stars all revolve. Such distances, such numbers, such a view defy the imagination. Yet the incredible advances of modern science have built a compelling portrait of our cosmic habitat and armed with this hard-won knowledge, we can now confidently navigate our Galaxy’s 100,000-light-year span, exploring and explaining the wonders of the deep night sky. With Stuart Clark’s lucid text and nearly 500 cutting-edge images, Galaxy investigates every aspect of the Milky Way – from its place in the Universe to its large-scale anatomy, from its history to its future. We approach the Milky Way from the very edge of the Universe, threading our way through massive conglomerations of galaxies gathered like grains of dust on

In zehn Kapiteln bietet Stuart Clark eine umfassende Einführung in die Kosmologie, ihre Entwicklung, prägende Konzepte und Personen sowie den aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft. Ein entscheidender Moment war die Veröffentlichung einer neuen Karte des Urknall-Echos durch die ESA am 21. März 2013. Diese erste vollständige Karte der kosmischen Hintergrundstrahlung, erstellt im Rahmen der Planck-Mission, stellt einen wissenschaftlichen Durchbruch dar. Sie zeigt das frühe Universum über 13,8 Milliarden Jahre und 440 Trillionen Kilometer und gilt als die detaillierteste Darstellung, die je möglich war. Doch diese Karte bringt auch Anomalien ans Licht, die unser bestehendes Verständnis des Universums infrage stellen. Sie fordert uns heraus, bekannte und unbekannte Aspekte neu zu betrachten und ein verändertes Modell des Universums zu entwickeln. Clark untersucht, ob Newtons Gravitationsgesetze überarbeitet werden müssen und ob dunkle Materie und dunkle Energie lediglich kosmische Illusionen sind. Zudem stellt er grundlegende Fragen: Was geschah vor dem Urknall? Was verbirgt sich in einem Schwarzen Loch? Existieren andere Universen? Ist Zeit real? Und verändern sich die einst als konstant geltenden physikalischen Gesetze?
