Description
"This new book explores the pioneering field of transient - or time-domain - astronomy, the incredible discoveries being made, the tools that we use to detect these cosmic events, and the aspects that continue to puzzle observers and theorists. In an engaging style accessible to the layperson, the astronomer and popular science author gives us an up-to-date overview of the "transient universe," and explains how astronomers came to see the cosmos as a dynamic place, rather than a static one"--,Provided by publisher.
