Astronomy is a fascinating science. At the dawn of humanity, the human being looked up to the starry sky, looking for supernatural explanations for everyday phenomena. Today, with very sophisticated observation techniques, the harmony of the spheres continues to disturb us. But the apparent celestial harmony hides a violent Universe, with gigantic explosions, thermonuclear reactions and extreme temperatures.
