Space Universe

With the ancient Aris service module Kanan out of the picture - at least for a while - there's a lot for Marshal Adam Cain to tend to within the Dead Zone. If Adam thought things were wild and woolly before, wait until he sees what happens in the aftermath of Kanan. Politics, terrorists, assassins, thieves, and more...I could go on and on, but you get the picture. And now, as Adam slowly builds a secret force of super agents within the ranks of Enforcers, they begin to take on assignments usually reserved for, well, supermen. Fortunately, the shoe fits.

The ancient Aris helped created nearly all advanced life in the galaxy. But they weren't alone. Now the long lost Children of the Aris have resurfaced, freed from their Quantum prison. And now, they're on a mission to reconstitute their race, supplanting all other life in the Milky Way. And to that end they need the mysterious Formation device. To get it, they've kidnapped the super mutants, Panur and Lila. Little do they know, Panur is no longer immortal and he will surely die if Adam Cain and his friends can't find him and Adam's daughter, Lila, in time.

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.

The third installment and possibly our most challenging audiobook of the series! But, of course, you will be the judge. We dug deeper, flew further, and sorted through tons of cosmic dust to bring you another 601 mind-blowing facts. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, and you’ll cry…well, you’re not likely to cry, but the dedicated astronomers have uncovered space successes as well as losses. Inside, you will find 165 trivia questions to challenge students, the avidly curious novice, and above.

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.

Visualize and explore the wonders of our universe. Black holes, dark matter, space-time, gravity, light-speed, orbits, photons, dark energy, solar systems, the big bang, expansion, the shape of the universe, and even the multiverse!

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.

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!

Over 100,000 years have passed with Star Force growing into a dominant position as rulers of the Rimward half of the galaxy, but lurking in the shadows are threats of old waiting for the right time to strike.

The long war with the V'kit'no'sat is over, and it's time for humanity's elite Archons to take the next step in their physical and mental development through a mix of training and genetic engineering. No longer will they be humans, but rather something new with a raw power the galaxy has never before seen. Enter the era of the Saiyans.
