NOTES
Read by the author
For centuries, it was assumed that our universe was static. Then, in the late 1920s, astronomers made a startling new discovery-from Earth, the light of distant galaxies appeared to be red.

In The Red Limit, Timothy Ferris recounts the fascinating tale of this discovery, its far-reaching ramifications, and the passionately competitive astronomers who charted the past, present, and future of the cosmos
