Rob Walrecht The Big Bang and the expanding universe, Dutch edition

Where do all those stars and galaxies come from, and how did the universe begin? Anyone who has ever wondered about this question will find something interesting in The Big Bang and the expanding universe, a Dutch edition by Rob Walrecht about one of the great questions in astronomy.

A little background: Astronomers discovered in the last century that distant galaxies are moving away from us, faster the further they are from us. This implies that the universe is expanding. Together with cosmic background radiation, this forms the basis for the idea of the Big Bang, about 13.8 billion years ago. You can find more background in our astronomy knowledge center.

Combine reading with an evening outside. On a dark autumn evening, with the naked eye you can see the Andromeda galaxy as a faint speck, at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years. If you want to see it in detail on the wall, there is The poster of the Andromeda galaxy.

There is also one by the same author The universe poster set.
