We then accelerate into deep space and, with Schilling as our guide, we explore the birth of stars in the Orion and Carina Nebulae; the death of stars, from red giants to catastrophic supernova explosions; and galaxies and galaxy clusters beyond our own including spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and lenticular galaxies. We learn about supermassive black holes, which astronomers now believe exist at the center of every galaxy including our own, and exoplanets, billions of which are believed to be orbiting stars in the Milky Way and beyond. The book concludes at the edge of the cosmological horizon with a look at dark matter, dark energy, and theories of extraterrestrial life and the Multiverse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With hundreds of photographs, including new images from the James Webb Space Telescope, and custom illustrations throughout, as well as a star atlas that shows the full celestial sky, \u003ci\u003eDeep Space \u003c\/i\u003eis the perfect book for astronomy buffs, students, and anyone fascinated with the mystery and beauty of the cosmos. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGovert Schilling\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning astronomy writer whose work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eNew Scientist, Science, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e BBC Sky at Night Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
