The Giotto space probe provided images of the core of Halley's famous comet; the Galileo space probe explored Jupiter and its moons; the Cassini probe explored Saturn and its satellites. The author shows that the aim of space exploration is not simply to accumulate knowledge about all of the planets, but rather to understand the origin of our solar system in order to anticipate future events.Travelling in space and learning more about space are seen here as ways of exploring Time and the history of the Universe.Giovanni Fabrizio Bignami is a professor of astronomy at the University of Pavia and the scientific director of the Italian Space Agency. \/ L'exploration spatiale a commenc le 25 mai 1961, lorsque le pr sident Kennedy a lanc un d fi sa nation: envoyer un homme sur la Lune et le ramener sain et sauf sur Terre. Ce succ s, en moins d'une d cennie, fait date dans l'histoire... Ce livre raconte l'histoire des missions scientifiques d'exploration spatiale qui n'ont cess depuis: Giotto la rencontre de la com te de Halley, Galileo la d couverte des lunes de Jupiter, Cassini pour explorer le syst me de Saturne, Bepi Colombo qui va tre lanc vers Mercure, BeppoSAX et RossiXTE pour voir le ciel aux rayons X. Cette extraordinaire aventure n'en est qu' ses d buts; un seul but: remonter le temps de l'Univers. Pour mieux comprendre comment se sont constitu s notre syst me solaire, notre plan te et la vie sur Terre.Giovanni-Fabrizio Bignami, astrophysicien, dirige le Centre d' tude spatiale des rayonnements de Toulouse. Il est pr sident du comit scientifique de l'Agence spatiale europ enne et membre de l'Accademia dei Lincei.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odile Jacob","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969745469591,"sku":"9782738117069","price":3815.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782738117069.webp?v=1782923748","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/exploring-space-to-explore-the-past-explorer-lespace-pour-remonter-le-temps-9782738117069","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
