内容简介
这是一本关于宇宙探索的失败集锦：哥白尼提出了日心说，却无法解释原因；现代科学之父伽利略错误地推断了潮汐成因；西芒托学院测不出光速；勒威耶找不到祝融星；皮亚齐弄丢了谷神星……从科学诞生的16世纪到现代人生活的21世纪，那些科学探索历程中看似失败的努力，却是天文学发展进程中的关键启迪。这本书选取了科学史上21场遗憾失败的尝试，他们失败的原因各不相同，但其中的故事各有各的精彩。这些故事就像银河系中被遮蔽的星光，是暗角，但也是天文史上的伟大进步。正因为他们，我们才得以见识真实而完整的浩瀚星空。

Content introduction
This is a collection of cosmic failures: Copernicus came up with the heliocentric theory but couldn't explain why; Galileo, the father of modern science, wrongly inferred the cause of tides; Simanto College can't measure the speed of light; Le Verrier could not find the star; Piazzi lost Ceres... From the 16th century, when science was born, to the 21st century, when modern people are living, those seemingly failed efforts in the course of scientific exploration are the key enlightenment in the development of astronomy. The book is a selection of 21 failed attempts in the history of science, each of them failed for different reasons, but each of them has its own wonderful story. These stories are like the obscured stars of the galaxy, dark corners, but also great advances in the history of astronomy. Because of them, we can see the true and complete vast sky.
