Buch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book tells the story of the Mt Stromlo Observatory in Canberra which began with W.G. Duffield's idealism and vision in 1905. The Observatory began life as a government department, later becoming an optical munitions factory producing gun sights and telescopes during the Second World War, before changing its focus to astrophysics - the new astronomy. In the ensuing years programs were introduced to push the Observatory in new directions at the international frontiers of astronomy.

These and other major discoveries are detailed in this fascinating book about one of the great observatories in the world.…
