The Invisible Sky: Rosat and the Age of X-Ray Astronomy Hardcover - 1998
by Bernd Aschenbach; B. Aschenbach; Brend Aschenbach
"The Invisible Sky" tells the story of one of the most successful scientific instruments ever launched, the ROSAT X-Ray satellite, which has discovered over 120,000 X-ray sources in space. Filled with spectacular color images from ROSAT, this book chronicles the beginnings, early failures, construction, and deployment of this remarkable satellite. 200 illus., 150 in color.
From the rear cover
Since ROSAT, the ROentgen SATellite (named after Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist credited with discovering x-rays), launched in June of 1990, it has revealed an entirely new aspect of the night sky - that of objects emitting x-rays rather than the rays of light visible to the human eye. This lavishly illustrated book is the first to describe one of the most remarkable instruments in modern astronomy. It offers fascinating images and engaging accounts of a wide range of Solar System and deep space objects such as Comet Hyakutake, the Sun, the Moon, and objects outside the Milky Way.
