Currently, astronomy is one of the most dynamically developing sciences. And every few years, the amount of knowledge about our Universe increases several times. Humanity discovers new stars, studies comets and asteroids, develops new theories of the expansion of the universe, and even searches for antimatter in space… In this book, we will reveal to you the real mysteries of the cosmos, for it is time to stop thinking only within the limits of our small planet!
Why do comets have tails? How did our Universe come to be, and why do scientists argue so much about this issue? Why is the Sun a star? And how did it happen that a small star gathered an entire Solar system around itself? What are stars made of, and why do they die? We will attempt to answer these and many other questions. So, let’s go forward—towards new knowledge and discoveries! In every corner of our vast Universe!
