Space Universe

A Journey Through the Universe is a grand tour of the most amazing celestial objects and how they fit together to build the cosmos. There's a whole universe out there....

In the early 17th century, Galileo broke free from the hold of ancient Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. He drastically changed the framework through which we view the natural world when he asserted that we should base our theory of reality on what we can observe rather than pure thought. In the process, he invented what we would come to call science. This set the stage for all the breakthroughs that followed - from Kepler to Newton to Einstein.

How did life begin on Earth? Does it exist elsewhere? What would those life forms be like? These fundamental questions about the nature of life and our own cosmic significance are endlessly fascinating. In this book, we present several theories on the origin of life, some of its extreme and surprising forms, and the ongoing search for signs - or sentience - on distant worlds.

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.

Quanto è grande l'universo? C'è stato un inizio e ci sarà una fine? Come si è fatta strada l'ipotesi del Big Bang? Come si fa a scoprire il passato dell'universo e a prevederne l'evoluzione futura? Domande antiche e in parte ancora irrisolte. Nel volume i passi più importanti del lungo cammino scientifico dall'età moderna fino alle scoperte più recenti, riguardanti la gerarchia di strutture cosmiche, l'espansione dell'universo, lo stato iniziale ultracaldo e ultradenso, che oggi i cosmologi possono osservare direttamente grazie a sofisticati telescopi e strumenti spaziali.

This quick but comprehensive primer, The Illustrated Guide to the Universe by Bill Andrews of Astronomy magazine, gives a complete overview of our universe, starting with our solar system before moving outward to explore the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond.

Letters from the Universe presents a new, simplistic framework for this vast expanse we exist in. By understanding the cosmos and knowing how everything began, we can emulate the ways of the universe and orchestrate a beautiful symphony of life, love, and happiness.

When Galileo looked to the sky with his perspicillum, or spyglass, roughly 400 years ago, he could not have fathomed the amount of change his astonishing findings a seemingly flat moon magically transformed into a dynamic, crater-filled orb and a large, black sky suddenly held millions of galaxies would have on civilizations.

Parallel universes sometimes collide and overlap to share a tiny sliver of space called a mixing zone. Anyone or anything caught in a mixing zone has about a 50-50 chance of remaining in their original location when the universes pull apart. Most beings throughout the universes are aware of this occasional phenomenon, but people on Earth - not so much. Certainly not Mark and Blackie. Mark and Blackie are brothers, and Wayne is Mark's best friend and the bass player in their band....

The study of life and its existence in the universe, known as astrobiology, is now one of the hottest areas of both popular science and serious academic research, fusing biology, chemistry, astrophysics, and geology. Lewis Dartnell tours its latest findings, and explores some of the most fascinating questions in science. Could life emerge on other planets or moons? Could alien cells be based on silicon rather than carbon, or need ammonia instead of water?

As a young boy Frank Kovac Jr. fell deeply in love with stargazing, painting glow-in-the-dark constellations on his bedroom wall and inviting friends to an observatory he built in his Chicago backyard.
