O knihe
According to world-famous astronomer David Levy, an eclipse of the sun "is a natural event with unnatural consequences. In fact, a total eclipse of the Sun has the power to rip through to the core of your being."
Levy should know, having experienced the power of the vanishing Sun first as a child then in 1999 on a ship in the North Atlantic. It was that voyage to the darkness of the disappearing Sun, followed by a rendezvous with a brilliant display of the Northern Lights, that formed the inspiration for this book.
Levy recounts the recorded history of eclipses, how they have been perceived by ancient cultures, how they can be predicted, and how best to view them. In addition, he explains the science of solar eclipses and what can be gained by studying them. In a manner accessible to all readers, Levy recounts the story of nature's most profound displays.
