Galaxies. A comprehensive guide to the Universe

Galaxies are peculiar “bricks” in the endless “building” of the universe. Arising from the dust of a large explosion, these “bricks” have not been at rest for 13 billion years now - they continue to change.
James Gich tells the fascinating history of the evolution of the most colorful elements of the cosmos: how the galaxies arose, why there are so many of them, why they differ in size, brightness and shape, and how they managed to grow black holes in their bowels. As a practicing researcher, the GICH lifts the veil of secrets over the work of astrophysicists: they are fighting for financing, write applications for access to telescopes at the last moment before the deadline for the gambling to see what has not yet been available to the human eye. And most importantly, it explains why modern astrophysicist is a light hunter, and how you can literally see the distant past of the universe
