Geoff McNamara - Böcker

The dark matter problem is a profoundly difficult to solve problem in the history of science. This book tells the story of the emergence of the dark matter problem, from the initial erroneous - discovery - of dark matter by Jan Oort to contemporary explanations for the nature of dark matter and its role in the origin and evolution of the Universe.

Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the collapsed cores of once massive stars that ended their lives as supernova explosions. In this book, Geoff McNamara explores the history, subsequent discovery and contemporary research into pulsar astronomy.
