Space History

Когда земные космические истребители класса "Стилетто" вошли в атмосферу планеты инсектов, с ее обитателями было практически покончено. Руины городов, обломки боевых кораблей и миллионы трупов - вот и все, что осталось от одной из многочисленных Семей расы разумных насекомых.

История о дальнем галактическом походе легендарного крейсера Тень Земли, - первого корабля, совершившего прыжок между Вселенным. Тиберианцы (уроженцы Первого Мира), единственные, кто сумел преодолеть режим изоляции системы Ожерелье и повторить путь цивилизации логриан.

Прошлое древнейшей цивилизации нашей галактики хранит тайны, способные уничтожить все живое. Происходящие в системе Ожерелье загадочные события роковым образом могут отразиться не только на судьбе человечества, но и иных космических рас.

История одного батальона, отслеженная писателем, приводит последнего к ошеломляющему открытию: в закрытых на карантин секторах пространства возможно уцелели его предки.

История одного механизированного батальона Земного Альянса. Всего лишь сутки боев за планету Анкор....

Нить судьбы, протянутая через столетия. Мальчик, девочка и андроид, на кладбище кораблей, дрейфующем в космосе, на месте одной из битв галактической войны. Как они оказались там? Способны ли выжить, среди непримиримых схваток машин, для которых война не завершится никогда?

Have you ever wondered how we came into being? Have you ever looked in the sky and marveled at the stars? This introduction to space gives you a foundation to explore whatever sparks your interest within this magnificent universe of ours. All this and more is available in this astronomy book. This book on astronomy is a perfect introduction to finding the truth out about wormholes, black holes, and the planets that surround us. Have you ever wondered what is out there? What about if there are more planets out there that we don't know about?

In this summary of A Short History of Nearly Everything: Bryson describes graphically and in layperson's terms the size of the universe and that of atoms and subatomic particles. He then explores the history of geology and biology and traces life from its first appearance to today's modern humans, placing emphasis on the development of the modern Homo sapiens. Furthermore, he discusses the possibility of the Earth being struck by a meteorite and reflects on human capabilities of spotting a meteor before it impacts the Earth....

The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the moon, during Apollo 11, had complicated roots dating back over a decade; it also involved one of NASA's most infamous tragedies. Landing on the moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government's urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel).

The wonders of the universe never seemed so close. Who named the planets? Why isn't Pluto a planet? And what's the future of space? From ancient cave paintings to flying drones on Mars, humanity's relationship with the skies has changed dramatically. Gazing at the Night Sky looks back at over 5,000 years of history, from ancient Mesopotamian astronomers to the next horizons in space travel.

In the sixth book of the Anaconda series, 10 years have passed since the 23rd-century asteroid mining ship Anaconda mysteriously appeared 400 years in the past. Aided by a library containing a detailed history of Earth’s people and natural resources, along with millions of tons of processed ore and advanced 3-D printing factories, the crew has split into factions bent on creating utopian societies on the planet they call New Earth.

Tommaso Ghidini, da vent'anni coinvolto nei più prestigiosi programmi aerospaziali al mondo e alto funzionario dell'Agenzia Spaziale Europea, quella passione l'ha scoperta molto presto: il volo. L'irresistibile attrazione per quello spazio senza confini che è il cielo, sottile congiunzione tra la Terra e le stelle, ha plasmato la sua esistenza. Ghidini oggi ha occhi che vedono il futuro più da vicino di molti altri.

¿Alguna vez has levantado la vista al cielo en una noche estrellada y te has dejado llevar por la imaginación? Igual en ese momento te has trasladado a mundos que van más allá de lo que podemos imaginar en la Tierra. Algunos con vida, puede que inteligente, y otros completamente inhóspitos e infernales. O quizá simplemente te has preguntado cuántas estrellas hay en la Vía Láctea.

During the formative years of Egyptian civilization, each Cosmogony was present. Students from many regions and segments of society attended the Houses of Life, and royals regularly donated endowments for the temple's maintenance and activities. These circumstances suggest a theological harmony, suggesting that a group of religious centers must have been cohesive despite their distinctive teachings and practices. Regardless of time or place in popularity, each creation myth was integral to the Egyptians' worldview.

The Sky Is for Everyone is an internationally diverse collection of autobiographical narratives by women who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. This audiobook vividly describes how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of women astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century. Here are the stories of the tough and determined women who flung the doors wide open.

Decía Carl Sagan que para hacer una tarta de manzana primero hay que crear el universo. Harry Cliff, prestigioso físico de la Universidad de Cambridge, emprende la búsqueda de la receta perfecta recogiendo los ingredientes a través del cosmos, en los núcleos de estrellas moribundas, y retrocediendo en el tiempo hasta la fracción de segundo inmediatamente posterior a la que todo se creó, para entender, entre otras muchas cosas, de dónde proviene la materia.

Sometimes our understanding of our universe is given a huge boost by one insightful thinker. Such a boost came in the first half of the 20th century, when an obscure Belgian priest put his mind to deciphering the nature of the cosmos. The Day Without Yesterday covers the modern history of an evolving universe, and how Georges Lemaître convinced a generation of thinkers to embrace the notion of cosmic expansion and the theory that this expansion could be traced backward to the cosmic origins, a starting point for space and time that Lemaître called "the day without yesterday".

Alternate History in den USA der 1950er-Jahre - ausgezeichnet mit dem Hugo-, Nebula- und Locus-Award. "Frauen gehören in die Küche, nicht in den Weltraum" - eine weit verbreitete Meinung in den USA der 1950er-Jahre. Die junge Physikerin Dr. Elma York, die als menschlicher "Computer" täglich die Flugbahnen von Raketen berechnet, lässt sich davon jedoch nicht abhalten. Schließlich steht die Menschheit vor ihrer größten Herausforderung: Ein gigantischer Meteoriteneinschlag hat das Klima für immer verändert, sodass die Eroberung des Alls sehr viel dringlicher geworden ist.

After writing four summary books about aliens, I decided to compile their most relevant content, with physicists’ recent insight concerning how they achieve their aerial and submerged acrobatics and high speeds, and other tricks, into a single full-length audiobook. We thank the US Navy for releasing authentic data on several observed UAP, which leads us to a theory of how UAP move.

Jerrod Northi-rogue, pirate and a citizen of Pemath, was desperate enough to want to go through the transformation. It cost 100,000 units for the Craftsmen to endow him with the Seven Signs - a rather steep price even for him. But he would pay it somehow, for since the attack of the deadly leeris, he feared that the cost of missing this opportunity to find a refuge in the land of Tarnis would be even higher.
