| Nota di contenuto | Foreword / by David Malin -- Preface -- Human versus telescope : comparing telescopic vision with human vision. Seeing is believing ; Three things a telescope does -- This is not a selfie : how telescopes and their cameras work. How a "visible-light" telescope works ; Starlight, camera, action! ; Calibrating the camera -- Coloring the universe : broadband images, and how we use color. Show your true colors ; Making color in photography ; Putting color into astronomical images ; Broadband filters -- Color is knowledge : what scientists learn from color with broadband filters. Stars in living color ; Diamonds and dust ; The colors of galaxies -- A brief history of astronomical images : the history of how (and why) images are made. The era of photographic plates ; Astronomy for everyone ; The rise of the electronic camera ; The year that was 1994 ; Onward to the future ; The time is now -- The marvel of hydrogen : the most important element and how we see it. Element number one ; The birth of stars ; Jets from forming stars ; Choosing the colors -- Seeing red : how we see color, and how we use it. How our eyes see color ; Interpretation of color ; Perception of temperature ; Here and far ; Not paint by numbers -- Narrowband imaging : addition by subtraction. The spaces between the notes ; Give me oxygen ; When a star hits empty ; Fifty shades of red ; The "hubble palette" and beyond ; Big stars go bang -- A night in the life : observing with the word's largest telescopes. These are professional grade ; Reservations required? ; Working dusk till dawn ; Remote control -- Outside the rainbow : the electromagnetic spectrum, different kinds of light. The electromagnetic spectrum ; Radio, radio ; Microwaves : more than the oven ; Infrared : can you feel the heat? ; Visible : the tiny slice you can see ; Ultraviolet : light my way ; X-rays : beyond the dentist's office ; Gamma rays : light to the extreme ; The visible made visible -- Photoshopping the universe : what do astronomers do? What do astronomers not do? From data to an image ; Enter photoshop ; Cleaning the image ; What not to do -- The aesthetics of astrophysics : principles of composition applied to the universe. The sharpness of an image ; Color contrasts ; The composition of an image ; Structure and detail ; The natural and supernatural ; Anatomy of and image : breakdown of the pillars of creation ; Scientific and beautiful -- Epilogue: Seeing the eye (and hand) of god : pareidolia, or seeing faces/objects in astronomical imagery. |
