{"product_id":"supernovae-9780521300384","title":"Supernovae","description":"\u003cp\u003eSupernovae are gigantic stellar explosions. The effects of these rare events pervade astronomy  creating and spreading the chemical elements  triggering the formation of new stars  creating black holes and pulsars. Originally published in 1978 and first published by Cambridge as this revised edition in 1985  is the story of supernovae. It captures the flavour of ancient astronomy and lays out the accidents  coincidences  false leads and flashes of inspiration that followed as astronomers grasped the implications behind the rare appearance of supernovae. Two supernovae  seen in 1572 and 1604  made scientists aware that the stars changed and could be studied like everything else. Eventually  modern astronomers came to link supernovae with black holes  pulsars  and even with the creation of the chemical elements. The whole entertaining story is told clearly  in non-technical language  showing the triumph of human imagination as we discovered our place in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923793150005,"sku":"ByrdShop_052130038X","price":100.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521300384.jpg?v=1794114976","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/supernovae-9780521300384","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
