Discovering Pluto is an authoritative account of the exploration of Pluto and its moons, from the first inklings of tentative knowledge through the exciting discoveries made during the flyby of the NASA New Horizons research spacecraft in July 2015. Co-author Dale P. Cruikshank was a co-investigator...

Dark matter is an undetected mass form that leaves no light or least light and could be identified through its gravitational forces. The existence of the dark energy and the dark matter were found late in the 1930s. There were solid evidences in the findings of the early 20th century scientist work...

Imagine if our world could suddenly stop spinning.What would happen to Humanity?How would we cope with both the cataclysmic event and the subsequent conditions afterwords.In this premise, Ian investigates the effects of a slow halt, and a far more sudden one.Would mankind survive such a devastation? More to the point, would we want to?Conjecture and facts collide in this fascinating work.

Vivimos en un multiuniverso. Nuestros orígenes ¿Por qué hemos escrito un libro sobre el Multiuniverso? Porque hoy el Multiuniverso es el tema más científico, actualizado y CLAVE para entender nuestra existencia. Es IMPOSIBLE poder entender tu existencia si no sabes lo que es un Multiuniverso. Todos...

Pluto looms large in Flagstaff, where residents and businesses alike take pride in their community's most enduring claim to fame: Clyde Tombaugh's 1930 discovery of Pluto at Lowell Observatory. Percival Lowell began searching for his theoretical "Planet X" in 1905, and Tombaugh's "eureka!"...

This book surveys the theory of free, linear, isentropic oscillations in spherically symmetric, gaseous equilibrium stars, from basic concepts to asymptotic representations of normal modes and with slow period changes in rapidly evolving pulsating stars.

While writing this book, the author underwent  an extraordinary experience. He received messages, from an unknown source, regarding the contents of the book. These messages contained vital, hitherto unknown information about the history and origins of planet Earth. Due to the nature and content of...

LIGO's recent discovery of gravitational waves was headline news around the world. Many people will want to understand more about what a gravitational wave is, how LIGO works, and how LIGO functions as a detector of gravitational waves. This book aims to communicate the basic logic of interferometric...

“IS ANYONE ELSE ON THE MOON” Volume-1 is a scientific study of NASA materials concerning the existence of aliens in our solar system and universe, and especially alien artifacts on ythe Moon. A complete commentary on the works of George Leonard and fred Steckling and alienj lunar artifacts. Are...

This prizewinning PhD thesis presents a general discussion of the orbital motion close to solar system small bodies (SSSBs), which induce non-central asymmetric gravitational fields in their neighborhoods. It introduces the methods of qualitative theory in nonlinear dynamics to the study of local/global...

These are the proceedings of the "AstroNet-II International Final Conference". This conference was one of the last milestones of the Marie-Curie Research Training Network on Astrodynamics "AstroNet-II", that has been funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework...

In linguistics, one of the main areas of modern research involves the capabilities and possibilities of there being a "lingua cosmica," a LINCOS, a universal language that could be used to communicate with non-human intelligences. This book touches on the area of the development and use...

Nominated as an outstanding thesis by the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of New Mexico, this thesis seeks to identify the gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitor. GRBs are extragalactic explosions that briefly outshine entire galaxies, but the mechanism that can release that much energy...

This atlas is based on the lunar global Digital Elevation Models (DEM) of Chang'E-1 (CE-1), and presents CCD stereo image data with digital photogrammetry. The spatial resolution of the DEM in this atlas is 500m, with horizontal accuracy of 192m and vertical accuracy of 120m. Color-shaded relief maps...
