[Book Review] The Universe Is Indeed Amazing

Is the past hundreds of millions of light-years away bright?

I was looking for a book about space and decided on this one because Uoto had written a recommendation for it.
The most shocking thing was that the photo I thought was a black hole was a black hole, but also not a black hole. As a complete amateur, I had taken the kindness of researchers trying to make things easy to understand too literally, resulting in a misunderstanding. However, it was an event that made me feel that it is important not to just assume you know information as you see it, but to dig deeper.
The universe is amazing. But what I think again is that while the universe is amazing, Einstein is also truly amazing. Even 70 years after his death, he is still a figure deeply involved in space research.
However, even such a genius was fascinated by a "static universe" and could not admit for many years that the universe was expanding. In astronomy, when there are objections to published research results, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan takes a stance of treating both sides fairly and respecting each claim. This fairness is what increases reliability, and I think it is the correct research attitude.
When we look at stars, we are looking at light from the past, or the universe, in units of hundreds of millions of light-years. That might allow us to know the beginning of the universe, or if there is extraterrestrial life, the origin of the birth of life. It is connected to knowing ourselves.
Also, for those who want to know more about astronomy and the space business, this book includes a QR code for a podcast distributed by the author, so I would also recommend listening to it.
