Features: When the dark night sky is adorned with scattered stars, when starlight cascades from the Milky Way to cover the earth, what thoughts come to mind as you gaze at the stars? Don't rush to feel "overwhelmed with emotion," first listen to what scientists have to say. This book selects articles from Reference News in recent years that explore humanity's challenges to space and the universe, presenting them in four chapters to introduce the history, current state, and future of human space exploration.
In Chapters 1 and 2, we focus on Earth, describing the history and achievements of humanity's conquest of space. From Gagarin, Armstrong, and the Mercury 13 women to the universe, scientists show us a distant world that is "playful," "gluttonous," "pouting," and even features a "great battle between good and evil." We hope this book will greatly satisfy your curiosity while bringing you closer to astronomers.
The book includes topics such as life in space, lunar landing dangers, following in Gagarin's footsteps, spending seasons on the "Mir" space station, Japanese astronauts talking about life in space, entering the Mars training camp, the growth of space food, historical events that should not be forgotten, a century of space exploration, 40 years of crewed spaceflight, the Soviet-American lunar race, hugging hands in outer space, exploring the solar system, glimpsing the birth of the solar system, scientists discovering the mysterious heat source of the corona, what the sun will face billions of years from now, and solving the mystery of planet formation.
