Turned to the stars. The past, present and future of astronomy. Leveesk E.

Since Galileo first sent a telescope to the stars, astronomy has become a storehouse of the development of a creative principle and an endless source of discoveries. Emily Levesk describes the world of a professional astronomer, glorifies ingenuity and curiosity and does not cease to be surprised at the miracles of the universe.

“I wrote this book to capture the stories of people working with telescopes. Over the past decades, there may not be so many in astronomy, but the obsessors-observers have accumulated the richest experience during this time. The stories of astronomers are remarkable, but this is a monument to the outgoing era... The study of astronomy will continue, nourishing curiosity and self -awareness of oneself by humanity. ” (Emily Levesk)
