All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other. They succumbed to their gravitational attraction, and the galaxy we know as the Milky Way was born. Since then, the galaxy has watched as dark energy pushed away its first friends, as humans mythologized its name and purpose, and as galactic archaeologists have worked to determine its true age (rude). The Milky Way has absorbed supermassive (an actual technical term) black holes, made enemies of a few galactic neighbors, and mourned the deaths of countless stars. Our home galaxy has even fallen in love. After all this time, the Milky Way finally feels that it's amassed enough experience for the juicy tell-all we've all been waiting for. Its fascinating autobiography recounts the history and future of the universe in accessible but scientific detail, presenting a summary of human astronomical knowledge thus far that is unquestionably out of this world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cosmology $v Popular works. 651 0 $a Milky Way $v Popular works. 650 6 $a Cosmologie $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 651 6 $a Voie lacteÌe $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 650 7 $a Cosmology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00880600 651 7 $a Deep space $z Milky Way. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240104 655 7 $a Popular works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423846 941 $a 26 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724015817.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716035356.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710061438.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020219.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012721.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021311.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214014755.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20231021032255.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015300.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025109.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230822011221.0 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20230308010406.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230301010234.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011318.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011241.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020234.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230202012422.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230103010951.0 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20221206011736.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20221102010414.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221022011826.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221005021811.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20221004021634.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20221004012202.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220924010152.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220830013121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18662AAA237211EDB0CC782036ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
