Our ideas about black holes are most often based on popular myths and a few well-known scientific facts. Describing the history of the study of black holes, Chris Impey easily debunks the most common misconceptions and opens the door to the mysterious world of distant stars and their invisible but influential companions. In this book, the history of astrophysics appears as a series of stunning discoveries made by several generations of enthusiastic and talented scientists who were able to describe the past, present and future of outer space, to calculate the approximate approximate location of the nearest black holes and assume what awaits the universe in millions of years. Lively, fascinating narration and detailed explanations make the book understandable for any reader - from a physicist to a schoolboy. The book will be interesting for those who plan to connect their future with astrophysics, and those who have long been interested in the birth, life and dying of stars and galaxies.
