《深空年鉴》第 10 卷探索了天龙座、小马座、波江座和天炉座，每个星座都有大量迷人的恒星和非恒星物体。天龙座包含许多双星，例如宽大的天龙座 5 等双星，两颗五等星，看上去相似，但实际上却非常不同。天龙座最受欢迎的深空物体之一是猫眼星云 (NGC 6543)，这是威廉·哈金斯于 1910 年通过光谱解码的第一个行星状星云。小马座至少可以拥有螺旋星系 NGC 7040，由马克·沃尔罗德·哈林顿于 1882 年发现。我们附上了哈林顿的简短但奇怪的背景故事。波江座也是一个小星座，但它包含与 NGC 1723 相关的有趣星系群和一个“不平衡”的星系 NGC 1637。天炉座充满了有趣的星系，包括具有特殊核心的 NGC 1097、壳系统 NGC 1344 和“三环”星系 NGC 1326。另外，不要忽视天炉座 S，这是一颗偶尔会出现超级耀斑的奇怪太阳。

《深空年鉴》是一本全面的参考书，可引导业余和半职业天文学家探索观测宇宙中每个令人难以置信的角落。每卷都对著名恒星和深空天体进行了详尽的描述。天文学界没有其他任何流行著作能提供如此全面的历史背景和天体物理评估。

Let Lonely Planet take you further than ever before with the world's first and only travel guide to the Universe. Developed with the latest data from NASA, we take you from our home on Earth and out into the far reaches of the solar system, then into our neighbouring stars and planetary systems, and finally into the rest of our galaxy and the Universe.

This fascinating journey will help you explore space as you would the world with a Lonely Planet guide. Unique to these pages are wonderful comparisons of Earth with the other worlds of our solar system and even those exoplanets orbiting other stars.

You'll discover as much as we know about our celestial neighbourhood, and our place in it. In addition to planets and moons, get to know our Sun, explore the asteroid belt and the Kuiper Belt, and learn what lays beyond, in interstellar space. Outside our solar system, travel to some of the notable neighbouring stars, stellar systems and exoplanets we've discovered. You'll understand how we search for planets where life might exist and the stars they orbit.

Finally, discover the edge of the observable Universe. Get to know the structure of the Milky Way as well as an orientation to neighbouring galaxies like the Andromeda Galaxy which is visible from Earth. Then explore other galactic formations and learn about galactic clusters and superclusters. By the end of the book, you'll have a sense for the structure of the entire Universe as well as some of the big questions we still have as we ponder our place in it.

A sweeping tour of the galaxies, from our Milky Way to infinity.

Galaxies are glittering islands in the Universe, interwoven in the web of Dark Matter. From Earth's mountaintops enormous telescopes peer deep beyond the Milky Way, while space telescopes locate majestic images, and through seemingly miraculous technology, capture them for us to look at and learn with amazement.

Featuring the most recent, best, and even startling images with detailed captions highlighting accessible text, Galaxies shows the restless universe beyond our atmosphere. Photographs are from more than 30 of the world's largest ground-based telescopes, including the largest to date, the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile. Images are also featured from the Hubble Space Telescope, which has continued to operate long past its expected life and to astound and astonish stargazers worldwide.

Here is the glory of the galaxies:

• The Milky Way, our Galaxy -- Stellar Nurseries, Stars and Planets, When Stars Die; In the Heart of the Milky Way; Mapping the Milky Way
• Our Galactic Neighbourhood -- The Magellanic Clouds; the Andromeda Galaxy; The Triangulum Galaxy; Satellite Galaxies
• How far away are the stars?
• The Gallery of Galaxies -- Spiral Galaxies; Barred Spiral Galaxies; Elliptical, Lenticular and Dwarf Galaxies; Dark Matter; The Expanding Universe
• Monsters and Black Holes -- Twisting Galaxies; Colliding Galaxies; Active Galactic Nuclei and Quasars; Supermassive Black Holes; Giant Eyes for the Sky
• Clusters of Galaxies -- Cosmic Clusters; Gravitational Lensing; Dark Forces; The Large-scale Structure of the Universe; Looking Back in Time
• Birth and Evolution -- At the Edge of Space and Time; The First Galaxies; The Beginning of the Universe; Dark Energy; Cosmology

在过去的四百年里，女性在天文学研究和发现史上所发挥的作用远远超出了她们在数量上的代表性。一位女性为我们提供了测量恒星间距离的第一台工具，另一位女性首次告诉我们恒星的成分。女性首次注意到脉冲星的节律性噪声、宣布白矮星存在的温度差异以及星系运动的不规则性，这些不规则性让我们意识到，我们所看到的宇宙可能只是现存宇宙的一小部分。

然而，尽管女性取得了巨大的成就，但几个世纪以来，她们在天文学界一直被视为二等公民，被关在密室里，被禁止与男性同事交流，只能从事重复和卑微的工作，工资微薄。本书讲述了女性如何克服所有这些障碍，凭借坚定的决心和天赋，揭开夜空的秘密。它讲述了一些科学界最神圣的名字——玛丽亚·米切尔、卡罗琳·赫歇尔、薇拉·鲁宾、南希·格雷斯·罗曼和乔斯琳·贝尔-伯内尔——的故事，也讲述了一些成就巨大但名字却因缺乏利用而被淡忘的科学家的故事——朝鲜善德女王，她在公元 7 世纪建造了至今仍屹立的天文台；王振仪，她将日心说带到了中国；玛格丽特·哈金斯，她完善了拍摄恒星光谱的技术，从而彻底改变了现代天文学的方向；而小山久子，她对太阳表面进行了数十年的研究，这不仅是坚定的科学奉献精神的杰作，也是严谨而宝贵的太阳数据宝库。

然而，《天文学和太空探索中的女性历史》不仅是一本关于太空研究者的书，也是一本关于进入太空的冒险者的书，从传说中的水星 13 号，其加入美国太空计划最终因内部背叛而受挫，到凯瑟琳·沙利文和萨莉·莱德这样的神话人物，她们不仅是太空探索的先驱，而且本身就是科学研究人员和工程师，在她们的工作中得到了像玛姆塔·帕特尔·纳加拉贾这样的科学家的帮助，她研究了太空对人体的影响，还有像玛丽安·戴森这样的计算机程序员，她的模拟让宇航员为太空中可能发生的每一种灾难做好准备。

《天文学和太空探索中的女性历史》通过 130 多个故事讲述了四千年来人类试图了解自己在宇宙中的位置的过程，最终向我们展示了女性从仪器制造者和计算器到理论家、管理者和探险家的进化历程，尽管她们得到的回报少得惊人，但却给了我们宇宙。

《恒星爆炸》讲述的是 1054 年发生的超新星爆炸，是历史上有记录以来最明亮的超新星事件之一。它的遗迹——蟹状星云，至今仍在被研究。
故事从数千年前超新星爆炸的那一刻开始，一直追溯到公元 1054 年，这一年世界各地的人们都看到了
一颗爆炸恒星发出无与伦比的光芒出现在地球的天空中。随后，故事深入太空，看到这颗超新星的遗迹——蟹状星云——随后继续穿越时空。

本书采用独特的方法，将天文学、文化史和技术进步融为一体，鼓励读者思考周围的世界及其在宇宙中的位置。

这本书以简洁、诗意的文字和令人惊叹的水彩和水墨插图讲述，结尾邀请读者想象有一天他们也能看到天空中闪耀的超新星这一罕见事件
