S1 E1 – The Rationale for a Space Telescope
15. ledna 201132 minBegin your exploration of the scientific stories behind 10 of the most fascinating images made by the Hubble Space Telescope. Learn about Hubble's design and how its operations were almost cut short by a flaw in its mirror, a problem corrected during a space shuttle servicing mission.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E2 – Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and Jupiter
31. května 202030 minShortly after its optics were repaired, Hubble had the opportunity to observe the solar system event of the century: the collision of a string of comets with Jupiter in 1994. Examine Hubble's stunning image of the aftermath of this crash.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E3 – The Sagittarius Star Cloud
31. května 202030 minHubble's view of a tiny region of the Sagittarius Star Cloud has an astonishing 12,000 stars. Study this dazzling image and learn how its unprecedented resolution is helping to chart the stellar history and evolution of the Milky Way galaxy.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E4 – The Star Factory inside the Eagle Nebula
31. května 202030 minExplore the most iconic Hubble photo of all: the glowing pillars of gas and dust at the core of the Eagle Nebula. Resembling a fantasy landscape, this view shows young stars emerging from their cocoons of gas and dust in an interstellar molecular cloud.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E5 – The Cat's Eye Nebula: A Stellar Demise
31. května 202031 minTurning from star birth to star death, get a preview of the sun's distant future by examining the Cat's Eye Nebulae. Such planetary nebulae (which have nothing to do with planets) are the exposed debris of dying stars and are among the most beautiful objects in the Hubble gallery.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E6 – The Crab Nebula: A Supernova's Aftermath
31. května 202031 minStars more than eight times as massive as the sun take a radically different path at the end of their lives, disintegrating in a colossal explosion known as a supernova. Hubble's image of the famous Crab Nebula shows the expanding cloud of material from a supernova that was witnessed on Earth in the year 1054.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E7 – The Sombrero Galaxy: An Island Universe
31. května 202030 minIn the 1920s, astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered the true nature of galaxies as "island universes." Some 80 years later, the telescope named in his honor has made thousands of breathtaking pictures of galaxies. Focus on one in particular - an edge-on view of the striking Sombrero galaxy.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E8 – Hubble's View of Galaxies Near and Far
31. května 202031 minHubble's image of the nearby galaxy NGC 3370 includes many faint galaxies in the background, exemplifying the telescope's mission to establish an accurate distance scale to galaxies near and far - along with the related expansion rate of the universe. Discover how Hubble's success has led to the concept of dark energy.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E9 – The Antennae Galaxies: A Cosmic Collision
31. května 202031 minA pair of interacting galaxies called the Antennae represent Hubble's most dramatic snapshot of a galactic collision. Learn how such events unfold over the course of millions of years and how the nearby Andromeda galaxy will have a similar encounter with our own Milky Way in the far distant future.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E10 – Abell 2218: A Massive Gravitational Lens
31. května 202031 minOne of the consequences of Einstein's general theory of relativity is evident in Hubble's picture of the galaxy cluster Abell 2218. Investigate the physics of this phenomenon, called gravitational lensing, and discover how Hubble has used it to study extremely distant galaxies as well as dark matter.Bezplatné zkušební období kanálu The Great Courses Signature Collection, obsah si můžete také koupitS1 E11 – The Hubble Ultra Deep Field
