Space Universe

The war is over. Hurray! Half the fleet is back in mothballs. But out on the rim of human space, ships are disappearing. Some are merchant ships going about their business. Others are exploration ships on deep space probes. What's happening to them? Captain Rita Nuu Longknife is ready to take the heavy cruiser Exeter to space and see what's out there. She may have a nursery next to the captain's cabin and a two-month-old baby on her hip, but she's taking a warship out there, and nobody better get in her way.

As battles rage and allegiances shift, the muto Frohic returns home an unlikely hero. Now rich beyond measure, fat from the spoils of conquest, he takes his place among the Emperor’s honored champions. His symbol is raised over the Black Wall and his name inscribed into the Book of Remembrance. Yet Frohic’s heart is troubled. His destiny unfulfilled. For somewhere in the dark reaches of....who is writing this stuff? That isn’t how it is at all.

This is volume two of our series, and our astronaut is once again aboard a spaceship heading for deep space to avoid the self-destruction of Earth. Join us as nearly 200 of Earth's inhabitants flee for safety in a spaceship called The Ark.

The first popular introduction to Hawking's work, this program discusses the mysterious world of black holes, singularities, and the "big bang"--the point at which our universe may have begun.

From the dawn of time, man has sought to understand the universe and his place in it. How did the Earth and the Solar System come to be? How was the universe created? Like other scientific disciplines, astronomy and astrophysics is one big detective story. Hypotheses are formed, observations taken, and experiments performed in the search for universal laws that describe all that we see. In this resourceful guide, common and uncommon questions about the universe will be explained in comprehensive but easy-to-understand terms.

Be an instant expert on the quantum universe and Bluff Your Way® in the subject with everyone you know. No science required, just a sense of humour. From 'gluons' to 'gravitons', and from 'certainty' to 'superstrings', here's all you need to know to sound all-knowing.

The Universe is a very big place and has many mysteries. Most people don’t realize just how mysterious it is. Scientists are stumped by many of the conundrums which Astronomy reveals. In this book, I want to give listeners a sense of the grandeur, mystery, and puzzles which the Universe poses to scientists. When you realize how incredible our Universe really is you may be surprised. We used to think the Sun was the center of the Universe. Now we know our solar system is just one of billions. Most of the matter in the Universe is also missing.

The universe is rapidly expanding. Of that much scientists are certain. But how fast? And with what implications regarding the fate of the universe? Ellen Jackson and Nic Bishop follow Dr. Alex Fillippenko and his High-Z Supernova Search Team to Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii, where they will study space phenomena and look for supernovae, dying stars that explode with the power of billions of hydrogen bombs. Dr. Fillippenko looks for black holes--areas in space with such a strong gravitational pull that no matter or energy can escape from them--with his robotic telescope.

1995: viene scoperto un pianeta orbitante intorno ad una stella simile al nostro Sole, a conferma di secoli di speculazioni sull'esistenza di altri mondi. 51 Pegasi b, il primo di una lunga lista di pianeti extrasolari in continua crescita, ha costretto gli scienziati a rivedere con occhio critico le teorie di formazione ed evoluzione del nostro sistema solare. A partire dalla storia delle osservazioni planetarie l'autrice ci guida alla ricerca dei pianeti extrasolari. Come vengono individuati? Qual è la loro composizione?

Nei tempi antichi le stelle scandivano il passare del tempo e l'alternarsi delle stagioni, e guidavano i naviganti: per questo si pensò che il cielo e i corpi celesti avessero anche un legame con la divinità. Oggi, grazie a strumenti ultra-sofisticati, si può analizzare la proprietà della luce emessa dalle stelle, dedurre le proprietà del materiale che compone le atmosfere stellari, e osservarne la radiazione. Nel prossimo futuro, poi, l'astronomia stellare promette telescopi sempre più avanzati con cui studiare anche stelle di galassie molto lontane dalla nostra.

Após o enorme sucesso de Uma breve história do tempo, a Intrínseca traz a luxuosa reedição de O universo numa casca de noz, na qual Stephen Hawking se vale de ilustrações, fotos e esquemas detalhados para mostrar grandes descobertas no campo da física teórica. Tudo isso, é claro, com sua conhecida clareza, elucidando temas complexos por meio de conceitos e ideias do dia a dia, como a inflação, as cartas de baralho e as linhas ferroviárias, e permeado com seu peculiar senso de humor.

This audiobook is an exploration of infinity and new understandings of our universe which have come to light in recent decades.

Entrando nel crepuscolo della propria vita, un astrofisico di fama mondiale si pone una domanda: cosa vorrei che sapessero i miei nipoti dell'Universo in cui continueranno ad abitare quando io non ci sarò più? Nasce così questo dialogo immaginario tra un vecchio e un bambino che in una notte, seduti su comode sdraio, osservano il cielo. Attendendo le stelle cadenti, l'anziano scienziato risponde agli interrogativi sempre più incalzanti del giovane: di che materia sono fatte le stelle? Come si alimenta il sole? Cosa significa che l'Universo è in espansione? Siamo soli nell'Universo?

Gus Valentino is still an entry-level delivery driver. But when he gets a big job, delivering live cargo, he thinks it's gonna be his big break. And it's just a tiny little guy! A norblan, for a little girl's birthday present.

Attempts by scientists and artists to reveal deep truths about the universe may take different forms, but they often end up agreeing with the poet John Keats that “truth is beauty”. Geometry, physics, and the other sciences describe the world we live in, and artists often play with these properties in their own imaginative investigations. From the drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci to high tech computer graphics, Neil and Lynne paint a picture of how science has inspired art through the ages.

New worlds, planets, stars, invisible space and black holes. All of this is our universe. The simplest unicellular organisms, quarks, hadrons, and neurine - is also all our universe. Billions of galaxies and solar systems. It cannot be that we were alone in the universe. Want to learn more? Then this book is for you!

The bell has been rung, and the return of the Reignor has come.

Project Furya begins. Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Star Force and experience the compelling world of genetic engineering and space exploration science fiction.

Does the universe circle around Earth? Do creatures live on the sun? Can you tell the future by looking at the stars? At one time science supported wild notions like these! But later studies proved these ideas were nonsense. Discover science's biggest mistakes and oddest assumptions about physics and astronomy, and see how scientific thought changed over time.
