From the earliest Hooker Telescope and the Mount Wilson Observatory, to the latest FAST, JWST and DAMPE, the targets of observation range from large systems such as the solar system, the milky way, and the universe, to individual planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and the remote stars, and to the matters that reveal the origin of the universe, such as dark matter and cosmic background radiation. The book presents the mysteries of the sky in an easily readable manner suitable for audiences of all ages who are curious about the universe and thirsty to know all the important discoveries in the past century, especially the last decade. With carefully-selected contents, the book weaves together a series of tales to make the convoluted history of astronomical observation full offun and excitement, ensuring that readers never lose interest during reading. . 410 0$aAstronomers' Universe,$x2197-6651 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aOuter space$xExploration 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aSpace Exploration and Astronautics 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aOuter space$xExploration. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aSpace Exploration and Astronautics. 615 24$aAstrophysics. 615 24$aCosmology. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 676 $a522.1 700 $aWang$b Jie$0898642 702 $aHuang$b Xiaoyan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910888600503321 996 $aEye Beyond the Sky$94431437 997 $aUNINA
