Book Synopsis Measure Solar System Objects and Their Movements for Yourself! by : John D. Clark
Download or read book Measure Solar System Objects and Their Movements for Yourself! written by John D. Clark and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instead of taking somebody's word for it about the basic size and distance statistics for the solar system, this book shows amateur astronomers how to measure these things for themselves. This is an enriching experience for any amateur astronomer - to understand and personally measure some fundamental astronomical quantities and distances. A basic knowledge of geometry is required, but it is amazing how simple the geometry can be. Readers are led through the geometry as gently as possible - and in a light-hearted way - presuming that most non-academics will have half-forgotten most of their mathematics. The practical astronomical equipment recommended is no more than a typical commercially-made amateur telescope and a camera of some sort - these days a webcam works very well. Apart from that all the reader will need is access to a computer, the know-how to download free software, and an enthusiasm to expand his knowledge of the basis of scientific astronomy.
Book Synopsis Calculate the Orbit of Mars! by : Jane Clark
Download or read book Calculate the Orbit of Mars! written by Jane Clark and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows readers how to calculate the orbit of Mars, based on their own observations and using observations made by the author. The historical, observational, and analytical aspects of the project to measure the orbit of Mars are all combined in this one book! Determining the orbit of Mars is particularly important, as originally solving this problem required the founding of modern science. Clark discusses how people came to believe in the Newtonian model of the Solar System, works through the mathematical basis for the theory of gravity, and shows how Newton ruled out the possibility of alternative theories. Readers also learn how it became possible to accurately measure the positions of Mars from a moving, spinning platform—the Earth. This mid-level observational challenge is well within reach of most serious amateur astronomers. For the observations, only a telescope with auto-guiding capability and the ability to mount a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera is required. For the calculations, it is assumed that the reader has a science, engineering, or mathematics background and is familiar with calculus, vectors, and trigonometry.
Book Synopsis Planetary Motion by : P. Andrew Karam
Download or read book Planetary Motion written by P. Andrew Karam and published by Infobase Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of years ago, people looked at the sky in wonder, fascinated by the motions of a few wandering stars. Nobody understood where these wandering objects--now named Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn--came from, why they moved, or what drove their motions through the sky. Today, people know these objects are planets, but the quest to reach this understanding took thousands of years, and the consequences were profound. Famous scientists Johannes Kepler, Edmund Halley, Isaac Newton, and others discovered the laws of gravity and planetary motion, using these laws to explain the workings of the solar system. Their findings allowed the human race to find its way from planet to planet with unmanned probes and eventually allowed people to reach the moon. In "Planetary Motion," learn how scientists have found new planets outside the solar system, and continue their search for planets like Earth.

Book Synopsis Probing the New Solar System by : John Wilkinson
Download or read book Probing the New Solar System written by John Wilkinson and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploration by space probes has revealed many fascinating details about Earth’s planetary neighbours. Today we stand on the threshold of the next phase of planetary exploration and knowledge, with several space probe missions currently underway and others being planned. Probing the New Solar System discusses the latest findings that have contributed to a changed understanding of the solar system – and how the revised definition of a planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union affected this understanding. Each chapter includes some historical information, ‘Did you know?’ items of particular interest to readers, and photographs of objects in the solar system showing newly discovered features of the planets, their moons and of dwarf planets. This is an up-to-date record of the many recent discoveries made about our solar system and other planetary systems using ground-based and space probe technology. It has been written for people interested in astronomy, both professional and amateur, as well as for students and educators.
Book Synopsis Gauging the Solar System by : E. Cowley
Download or read book Gauging the Solar System written by E. Cowley and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measuring solar system values for yourself is a good way to develop an understanding of the geometry and dynamics of the Sun and its planetary system. It also turns out to be a lot of fun. This book describes the author's measurements of more than fifty solar system values, ranging from the length of a synodic month to the inclinations to the ecliptic of the various planetary orbits. For most of the measurements no equipment is necessary beyond a pair of binoculars, a DSLR camera, and patience. The math behind the numbers is presented, but, for the most part, it is placed in separate appendices.The book is written more or less in the form of a diary, documenting how the author figured out how to measure the various numbers. His message is not "Look what I've done", but "Look what you can do!" Have fun.

Book Synopsis The Birth of Modern Astronomy by : Harm J. Habing
Download or read book The Birth of Modern Astronomy written by Harm J. Habing and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book discusses the ways in which astronomy expanded after 1945 from a modest discipline to a robust and modern science. It begins with an introduction to the state of astronomy in 1945 before recounting how in the following years, initial observations were made in hitherto unexplored ranges of wavelengths, such as X-radiation, infrared radiation and radio waves. These led to the serendipitous discovery of more than a dozen new phenomena, including quasars and neutron stars, that each triggered a new area of research. The book goes on to discuss how after 1985, the further, systematic exploration of the earlier discoveries led to long-term planning and the construction of new, large telescopes on Earth and in Space. Key scientific highlights described in the text are the detection of exoplanets (1995), the unexpected discovery of the accelerated expansion of the Universe (1999), a generally accepted model for the large-scale properties of the Universe (2003) and the ΛCDM theory (2005) that explains how the galaxies and stars of the present Universe were formed from minute irregularities in the (almost) homogenous gas that filled the early Universe. All these major scientific achievements came at a price, namely the need to introduce two new phenomena that are as yet unexplained by physics: inflation and dark energy. Probably the deepest unsolved question has to be: Why did all of this start with a Big Bang?
