Download or read book Lights in the Sky written by Michael Maunder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-28 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many lights and other objects in the sky go unrecognised, or at least are little understood by those observing them. Such things range from the commonplace like rainbows and meteors, to the distinctly unusual like the green flash and ball lightning. And there is still a residuum of objects that remain unidentified by the watcher – classed generally as ‘UFOs’, a description which today has connotations of the mysterious, even of extraterrestrial visitors. The first part of this book is an identification guide, very much like the "plant identifier" sections found in a good gardening or botany book. It allows quick (and structured) identification of known aerial phenomena, whether at night or during the day. The objects thus found are referenced to the second part of the book... The second part gives a full description, physical explanation, and where relevant notes on observing and photographing the various phenomena. Some will need optical aids such as binoculars or telescopes, but the main thrust of the book is identification and explanation rather than imaging. The final chapter approaches UFOs from a scientific standpoint, particularly the way in which human perception and often preconception affects the outcome. It does however finish with a short section on "extraterrestrial UFOs", emphasising the burden of proof aspect and touching on the scientific theories of life on other worlds and the improbability of visitors.

Book excerpt: One of the most ambitious works of paranormal investigation of our time, here is an unprecedented compendium of pre-twentieth-century UFO accounts, written with rigor and color by two of today's leading investigators of unexplained phenomena. In the past century, individuals, newspapers, and military agencies have recorded thousands of UFO incidents, giving rise to much speculation about flying saucers, visitors from other planets, and alien abductions. Yet the extraterrestrial phenomenon did not begin in the present era. Far from it. The authors of Wonders in the Sky reveal a thread of vividly rendered-and sometimes strikingly similar- reports of mysterious aerial phenomena from antiquity through the modern age. These accounts often share definite physical features- such as the heat felt and described by witnesses-that have not changed much over the centuries. Indeed, such similarities between ancient and modern sightings are the rule rather than the exception. In Wonders in the Sky, respected researchers Jacques Vallee and Chris Aubeck examine more than 500 selected reports of sightings from biblical-age antiquity through the year 1879-the point at which the Industrial Revolution deeply changed the nature of human society, and the skies began to open to airplanes, dirigibles, rockets, and other opportunities for misinterpretation represented by military prototypes. Using vivid and engaging case studies, and more than seventy-five illustrations, they reveal that unidentified flying objects have had a major impact not only on popular culture but on our history, on our religion, and on the models of the world humanity has formed from deepest antiquity. Sure to become a classic among UFO enthusiasts and other followers of unexplained phenomena, Wonders in the Sky is the most ambitious, broad-reaching, and intelligent analysis ever written on premodern aerial mysteries.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is an introduction to solar-terrestrial phenomena for those with no special background in astrophysics or solar astronomy. Discussions of physics have been kept to a minimum, with emphasis on phenomonology instead. An individual completely unfamiliar with solar events should, after reading this volume, be able to read and understand the SESC Report and Forecast of Solar Geophysical Activity and be able to apply its contents to his particular area of concern. This volume is also intended as a quick reference work for Skylab ATM Principal Investigator Teams to assist them in using the ATM data book. For that reason, a list of abbreviations used in forecasts and observatory reports is included. Subjects discussed are solar structure and processes, solar activity, and solar-terrestrial relations. There is a brief description of the Space Environment Services Center's activities.

Book excerpt: Navigating the Night Sky with Stargazers' Almanac In the wides tapestry of the universe, our Earth is but a tiny speck of dust. Yet, every night, as we turn our gazes skyward, we are transported into the boundless expanse of the cosmos. The night sky, adorned with its shimmering stars, holds stories that have captivated humanity for millennia. It's a celestial theatre, where constellations are the actors, and each star, a character in a timeless narrative. Welcome to the "Stargazers' Almanac," your celestial companion for the journey through the inky depths of space. In the pages that follow, we will embark on a voyage through the night sky, guided by the brilliance of stars that have inspired countless dreamers, scientists, and storytellers. These stars, each with its unique story and significance, will be our celestial landmarks. Our first stop on this cosmic odyssey is Pollux, the celestial twin of Castor, found in the constellation Gemini. As we gaze upon Pollux, we'll delve into the myths and science surrounding this luminous gem and its celestial sibling. Next, we'll set our course for Arcturus, the "Bear Guardian," a brilliant star in the constellation Bootes. Arcturus, like a cosmic lighthouse, has guided travellers for centuries and beckons us to explore its stellar neighbourhood. The fiery and unpredictable Betelgeuse in Orion will capture our attention next. As one of the brightest and most variable stars in the night sky, Betelgeuse has mystified and intrigued stargazers throughout history. Rigel, Orion's "Left Foot," will be our fourth stop. This dazzling blue star stands in stark contrast to Betelgeuse and holds its own unique allure. Then, we'll navigate to Sirius, the "Dog Star," in the constellation Canis Major. Brighter than any other star, Sirius has been revered by various cultures and holds a special place in the history of astronomy. As we venture into the cosmic ocean, we will also encounter other celestial wonders like Antares, the heart of Scorpius, and Regulus, the regal star in Leo. Each of these stars has its own tale to tell, and in these pages, we will uncover their secrets. But this almanac is not just about stargazing; it's about understanding the cosmos, embracing the stories woven into the night sky, and kindling the flames of curiosity. It's about exploring the science, mythology, and wonder that surround these celestial beacons. With this almanac in hand, you will embark on a journey of discovery, whether you are a seasoned astronomer or a novice stargazer. Together, we will navigate the night sky, uncovering the mysteries of the stars, and forging a deeper connection with the cosmos. So, dear readers and fellow stargazers, let us embark on this celestial adventure, guided by the stars that have ignited the human imagination for eons. The universe awaits, and the "Stargazers' Almanac" will be your trusted map to the wonders of the night sky.

Download or read book Sky Stories written by Roger Ptak and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the constellations, the patterns of stars found in the night sky, are connected with the ancient myths which people developed to give meaning to what they saw in the sky, based on the experience of their culture. The ideas of modern astronomy play a similar role for us today. They are stories which help us understand the phenomena we discover when we look deeper into the sky than is possible with eyes alone. In this book, the ancient sky stories and those of modern astronomy are woven together in a unique way. Coverage includes twenty-four important constellations as well as the sun and the moon and the sky as a whole. For each of these, one of the old stories is tied together with the astronomical understanding of a key feature in that part of the sky, allowing one story to serve as a reminder for the other.
