The End of the World is a non-technical book on astronomy and the end of the universe. The original illustrations are included.

«Jim Al-Khalili ha raccolto i contributi delle migliori menti della scienza e dello spazio. Alieni va ben oltre il cosa, il dove e il quando della ricerca extraterrestre: ci spiega la cosa più importante, cioè perché è giusto preoccuparsene.»The Times - Oliver MoodLa Via Lattea contiene qualcosa...

Camille Flammarion (1842-1925) began his career at 16 as a human computer under the great mathematician U. J. J. Le Verrier at the Paris Observatory.  He soon tired of the drudgery; he was drawn to more romantic vistas, and at 19 wrote a book on an idea that he was to make his own—the habitability...

Mankind's first close-up look at Pluto did not disappoint: The pictures showed ice mountains about as high as the Rockies and chasms on its big moon Charon that appear six times deeper than the Grand Canyon. Especially astonishing to scientists was the total absence of impact craters in a zoom-in shot...

Black holes, supernovas, Dark matter, and the micro gravity or macro gravity related researches and studies for analysis can be of inbound curiosity to any professional in any subject stream. These are lessons about nature that is sure to trigger the curiosity in anyone. Shedding some light on these...

The Recycling Universe hypothesis proposes that Einstein’s famous equation e = mc2 is reversible under conditions of extreme gravity in that whilst mass may be converted into energy (as in nuclear reactions), energy may be converted into mass within deep gravity wells (within Black Holes) and consequently...

Some believe that the difference in the way galaxies and solar systems appear to rotate is evidence that dark matter exists. This paper does not deny the existence of dark matter.This paper explains why solar systems and galaxies appear to obey different laws of motion.Kepler’s Three Laws of Planetary Motion do not violate the rotation of these two systems. They both follow the same laws.

Seth is an “Energy personality essence, no longer focused in physical reality.” In my opinion, his intellect exceeds the combined intellects of every great mind we have ever read about. This short ebook is a compilation of his quotes on quasars, black holes, and entropy. Some of this information...

This invaluable reference work, Apollo Terminology, belongs in the library of every student of the Apollo lunar landing program. The preface states, "Apollo Terminology definitions presented herein are intended to provide Apollo program participants with an updated collection of terminology used...

All those nagging questions you have about the universe are answered here, like Is there a dark side to the Moon? What happens when a comet hits the sun? Do the Martian canals have any water in them? Is the moon hot inside? What would happen if the sun were to collide with a black hole? Mars has polar...

How does it happen that billions of stars can cooperate to produce the beautiful spirals that characterize so many galaxies, including ours? This book reviews the history behind the discovery of spiral galaxies and the problems faced when trying to explain the existence of spiral structure within...

This accessible text on classical celestial mechanics, the principles governing the motions of bodies in the Solar System, provides a clear and concise treatment of virtually all of the major features of solar system dynamics. Building on advanced topics in classical mechanics such as rigid body rotation,...

A computer simulation of the gravitational field of the universe has been developed that precisely predicts the observed recession velocities of nearby and distant galaxies, even where it deviates from Hubble’s Law. It is called the COI universe model. Many other unusual cosmic observations like...
