Download or read book Double Planet written by John Gribbin and published by Gateway. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dragon, an enormous comet, is on a trajectory that will bring it perilously close to an Earth that is still suffering from the scars of a nuclear incident, and from the problems of the Greenhouse Effect. For the optimists - those that remain - it is a sign of change for the better; for others, the comet foreshadows humanity's final doom. But to Francis Reese and the hard-pressed astronauts of the depleted space programme, the Dragon presents a third outrageous, yet irresistible possibility - the transformation of a barren world into a new home for the beleaguered peoples of Earth.

When Earth receives a mysterious signal from a neighboring solar system, Harper along with five other prisoners are given the option for early release if they take on the dangerous mission to investigate. But things drastically become more complicated when the crew discovers people on this new planet, and these people know who they are. Harper left Earth to run away from her past, but the world she found has a darker history than her own. In this forgotten wasteland, everyone is desperate to protect something, and Harper must decide what is worth fighting for. But in a game of survival, only one question matters: who is telling the truth?

Book Synopsis The Planet Factory by : Elizabeth Tasker
Download or read book The Planet Factory written by Elizabeth Tasker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget about rockets to Mars – the future of space science lies with the search for exoplanets Twenty years ago, the search for planets outside the Solar System was the preserve of science-fiction writers. Now it's one of the fastest-growing fields in astronomy, with thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, and the number rising fast. These new-found worlds are more alien than anything in fiction. Planets larger than Jupiter with years lasting a week; others with two suns lighting their skies, or with no sun at all. Planets with diamond mantles supporting oceans of tar; possible Earth-sized worlds with split hemispheres of perpetual day and night; waterworlds drowning under global oceans and volcanic lava planets awash with seas of magma. The discovery of this diversity is just the beginning. There is a whole galaxy of possibilities. The Planet Factory tells the story of these exoplanets. What can we learn about these faraway surface environments and planetary atmospheres? And do the results hint at the tantalising possibility of alien life?

Book Synopsis Other Proof of Poincare’s Hypothesis by : Аркадий Сирис
Download or read book Other Proof of Poincare’s Hypothesis written by Аркадий Сирис and published by T/O "Neformat". This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not so long ago, about 30 years ago, not only the world community of mathematicians, but other scientific communities and even non-scientific communities with close attention — some with partiality, some without partiality — but followed with interest, and even delved into scientific details of the proof of the Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman of the hypothesis that was formulated in 1904 by the outstanding French mathematician Henri Poincaré. I was also interested in the same evidence. True, the reason for my interest was not so much Perelman’s proofs in their mathematical details, but rather the formulation of the hypothesis itself, which seemed to me an extremely interesting formulation of the problem of such manifolds, the topological and metric properties of which, in their unity with each other, are the cause of the geometric shape of the space of the universe. If someone asks, why start the same scientific business if there is already a mathematical proof of the same hypothesis. Firstly, if anything determines the geometric shape of any space, including the space of the universe, then perhaps its physical content. If so, then from the standpoint of the spatial unity of the geometric form of the space of the universe and the physical content of the same geometric form, Poincaré’s mathematical hypothesis is certainly a theoretically incomplete hypothesis. All the same justifies the need for the science of physical and geometric science in their unity with themselves and among themselves to prove those manifolds, physical and geometric manifolds, the natural properties of which in their unity with each other are responsible for the spatial unity of the universe with itself. Secondly, since truth is not an absolute truth, it reveals itself each time as a relative truth, which does not prohibit, but permits another proof of the same mathematical hypothesis, which in a given place is no longer mathematical, but geometrically physical and physically geometric.
Download or read book Pluto written by Barrie W. Jones and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orbiting at the edge of the outer Solar System, Pluto is an intriguing object in astronomy. Since the fascinating events surrounding its discovery, it has helped increase our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Solar System, and raised questions about the nature and benefits of scientific classification. This is a timely and exciting account of Pluto and its satellites. The author uses Pluto as a case study to discuss discovery in astronomy, how remote astronomical bodies are investigated, and the role of classification in science by discussing Pluto's recent classification as a dwarf planet. Besides Pluto, the book also explores the rich assortment of bodies that constitute the Edgeworth–Kuiper Belt, of which Pluto is the largest innermost member. Richly illustrated, this text is written for general readers, amateur astronomers and students alike. Boxed text provides more advanced information especially for readers who wish to delve deeper into the subject.
Book Synopsis Observing the Moon by : Peter T. Wlasuk
Download or read book Observing the Moon written by Peter T. Wlasuk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why write another guide to observing the Moon? That was the question I was pondering as I began this project, having a fine collection of "classic" lunar guidebooks dating back to 1791 in my own library. As a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), member of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences (AAS DPS), and member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), I am fortunate to know many pro fessionallunar scientists who keep me up to date with developments in lunar scienc- contrary to public perception, lunar science has definitely not stagnated since the last Apollo, No. 17, left the surface of the Moon in December, 1972. I am also lucky to know many amateur lunar observers, who, like me, enjoy actually looking at the Moon with tele scopes and imaging it with a wide variety of devices ranging from regular 35 mm cameras to video recorders and CCD cameras. My friends who study the Moon, whether in their professions or just for fun, gave me several reasons for doing "another" lunar guidebook. First, the last lunar observer's guide of any length was published over ten years ago, and many reviewers noted that it was badly out of date even then.
