Features: It is said that the universe was formed within three minutes after the Big Bang, a claim that sounds incredible. However, astronomers have found strong evidence to support the Big Bang theory as the mainstream explanation for the origin of the universe. The debate over whether the universe will continue to expand or eventually contract is not a mere figment of astronomers' imaginations. This collection of speeches begins with the tools used for exploring the universe, introducing the three major milestones in humanity's understanding of the cosmos and the hard work involved. It describes the evolution and operational patterns of celestial bodies such as extragalactic galaxies, the Milky Way, the solar system, Earth, the moon, comets, meteors, and asteroids. After reading it, you can gain knowledge about solar flares, Mercury transits, neutron stars, solar winds, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, astronomical observation and timekeeping, and extraterrestrial life, as well as the mythological stories behind constellations.
