Книга "Europe to the Stars" описывает создание Европейской южной обсерватории (ESO) в 1962 году, которое стало завершением мечты ведущих астрономов пяти европейских стран. С течением времени, по мере присоединения новых членов, ESO создала обсерватории Ла-Силья и Параналь, а также Атакамскую крупномасштабную миллиметровую/субмиллиметровую архивную (ALMA) вместе с партнерами. В настоящее время ESO начинает строительство крупнейшего в мире телескопа - Европейского экстремально крупного телескопа. В свой 50-й юбилейный год ESO готов войти в новую эру научных открытий в области высокоточных технологий, невиданных даже в более смелых мечтах ее основателей. Книга содержит лучшие 300 из более чем 100 000 изображений, отобранных вручную, и является посвященной 50-летнему юбилею ESO. В ней рассказывается о том, как мечты о гигантских телескопах стали реальностью, а также о важных научных открытиях, сделанных на обсерваториях Ла-Силья и Параналь. Книга является насыщенно иллюстрированной и предназначена для широкого круга читателей, интересующихся астрономией и научными достижениями.
Celebrating Europe's Space Legacy, by Govert SchillingThe birth of the European Space Agency in 1975 was a fusion of generations of intuition and technological advancements. The future was crossing our frontiers and our identity was transforming profoundly. That same energy has rekindled Europe's dream of stardom today in the European Space Programme. Many revolutionary projects are underway, especially now, in the mid-point of this Programme's lifetime. As those projects unfold, it is TIME FOR A SPACE LEGACY. Carefully consider this beautiful book, which explores the epochal strides that are shaping the present and the future of Europe in space. Readers journey into the depths of space, and not just into spaceflight theory - fascinating imagery, time-capture stories, and captivating stories are woven seamlessly into this tapestry of space exploration.Inspired by both war and peace through the ages, the EU and the ESAs key objectives lie not only in building up new government structures within the framework of Peace and Security for Europe, but also the establishment of permanent governance for the ISS and from there on into a permanent and sustainable human presence in LEO. We need to share the immense capacity of modern science, development, and global infrastructure to meet these challenges. Mostly, we have to investigate the road ahead that we believe will lead us to a more peaceful and secure future for ourselves, our families, all people, our home Earth, and for our sovereign nations.

Описание книги от Govert Schilling
The creation of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in 1962 was the culmination of the dream of leading astronomers from five European countries. Over the years, as more member states joined, ESO constructed the La Silla and Paranal observatories, as well as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) together with partners. ESO is now starting to build the world's biggest eye on the sky, the European Extremely Large Telescope. At the dawn of 2012, its 50th anniversary year, ESO is ready to enter a new era. One that not even its founding members could have anticipated in their boldest dreams. Constantly at the technological forefront, ESO is ready to tackle new and as yet unimaginable territories of high-precision technology and scientific discovery. Produced especially for ESO's 50th anniversary, this sumptuously illustrated book takes the reader behind the scenes of the most productive ground-based observatory in the world. It contains the best 300 of ESO's images, hand-picked from a large collection of more than 100 000 images. «Beautifully produced, Europe to the Stars tells the story of how dreams of giant telescopes became a reality and covers many of the exciting discoveries made at La Silla and Paranal.» —BBC Sky at Night, 1 February 2013 «Leave the book on your coffee table, certainly, but read it first and come back to it regularly. It's an intelligent, inspiring celebration of a great European scientific adventure.» —Astronomy Now, 1 March 2013
