“Hot” Issues and Their Handling

Abstract

In part 1 of this publication it has been shown that the stars in the night sky have always interested and fascinated mankind. Having been completely out of reach for thousands of years, outer space also was (and still is) an important place to nurture human imagination. Only the fast advancement of technology in the 20th century made it possible to explore the universe and to finally prove or defeat the theories of Earth-bound scientists and dreamers.
