Books like The red limit by Timothy Ferris
For centuries people believed the cosmos to be static. In the late 1920s, measurements of distant galaxies showed their light shifted toward red, indicating they were moving away from Earth. This observation proved the universe is expanding, reshaping cosmological theory. The book follows the astronomers who made this pivotal discovery and explores its profound impact on our understanding of the past, present, and future of the cosmos.
