Download or read book 924 Elementary Problems and Answers in Solar System Astronomy written by James Alfred Van Allen and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This challenging collection of problems is organized into seven carefully crafted, thoughtful chapters on the Sun and the nature of the solar system; the motion of the planets; the Sun, Earth, and Moon; the sky as observed from the rotating, revolving Earth; other planets, their satellites, their rings; asteroids, comets, and meteoroids; and the radiations and telescopes. From question 1, List characteristics of the solar system that are major clues in devising a hypothesis of its origin and evolution, through question 924, Give a brief list of the contributions of radio and radar technologies in lunar and planetary astronomy, the problems range in difficulty from ones requiring only simple knowledge to ones requiring significant understanding and analysis. Many of the answers, in turn, illuminate the questions by providing basic explanations of the concepts involved. Pioneer 10 and 11 are now halfway to the edge of the solar system. All beginning and advanced students of astronomy and their instructors as well as all dedicated amateurs can join James Van Allen on this journey by exploring the questions and answers in this stimulating book.

David J. Eicher presents a spectacular exploration of the cosmos that provides a balanced and precise view of the latest discoveries. Detailed and entertaining narratives on compelling topics such as how the Sun will die, the end of life on Earth, why Venus turned itself inside-out, the Big Bang Theory, the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, and the meaning of life in the universe are supported by numerous color illustrations including photos, maps and explanatory diagrams. In each chapter the author sets out the scientific history of a specific question or problem, before tracing the modern observations and evidence in order to solve it. Join David J. Eicher on this fascinating journey through the cosmos!
Download or read book 21St Century Astronomy written by Angelo Pettolino and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the introduction of indisputable proof by the scientific world confirming an expanding universe/solar system, many inconsistencies in the accretion theory, which are all now discredited, have come to light. Since their demise, astronomers have been feverishly trying to explain the formation of our solar system and water with theories like special relativity, general relativity, string, steady state, nebula hypothesis, and the gravity formation accretion theory all without success. This book, 21st Century Astronomy, completes the puzzle, answers every question, and ticks every box of doubtful questions with provable and logical explanations and experiments to prove the theorys point. A reimagined theory to the now-disproved accretion theory is central to what is called twenty-first-century astronomyor the AP theory by A. Pettolino. This bold truth book based on the latest, up-to-the-minute discoveries takes us one step closer to the logical truth and attempts to answer the unanswered questions and dispel previous misinformation and misconceptions. This cutting-edge, insightful new book offers a logical explanation for the formation of our solar system and water, which has been a mystery up until now. The AP theory also unlocks the riddle of how our solar system formed only 4.8 billion years ago. The theory chronologically describes the unbroken chain of events explaining how fusion and fission reactedwithin a one-hundred-thousand-cubic-mile area in our infant, partially frozen (Sun) cloudproduced and provided all the materials to form water and our entire solar system.

Download or read book Solar System written by Thomas Hockey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining the latest astronomical results with a historical perspective, Solar System: Between Fire and Ice takes you on a fabulous tour of our intriguing Solar System. Not content with a conventional discourse restricted to the major and minor bodies, astronomers Hockey, Bartlett, and Boice venture beyond the limits of our system to look at exoplanets and to consider future trends in space exploration and tourism. They discuss not only what scientists know about planets, asteroids, and comets but how the discoveries were made. With extensive teaching experience, their accessible prose clearly explains essential physical concepts. Lavishly illustrated as well as carefully researched, Solar System: Between Fire and Ice delights the eyes as well as feeding the mind. Detailed appendices provide additional technical data and resources for your own on-line voyage of discovery. Whether you are an educated layperson, student, teacher, amateur astronomer, or merely curious, you will come away having learned the most up-to-date knowledge and enjoyed the process. The authors bring a unique perspective to this subject, combining their years of experience in research, teaching, and history of planetary science. Prof. Thomas Hockey is a professor of astronomy, specializing in planetary science and the history of science. Dr. Jennifer Bartlett is an astronomer with a forte in dynamical motions of asteroids with liberal arts teaching experience. Dr. Daniel Boice is an active research astronomer in planetary science, especially comets, with considerable teaching experience. "In the 1980s and 90s the Viking and Voyager missions provided droves of exciting information, generating a new level of public interest. Textbooks were rewritten and scientists worked to understand the data during mission poor period that followed. In recent times, however, we have entered a new era. There has been a multinational effort to expand our knowledge of the Solar System. Data from these missions has been freely shared and has again raised the level of public interest. Within this era of renewed interest, it is appropriate, as is done in this book, to provide the public with an effort to present an integrated view of our Solar System and questions that the discovery of extrasolar planets have raised with regard to the Solar System as a whole." Professor Reta Beebe, recipient of NASA’s Exceptional Public Service Medal "I understand this book to be aimed at a general audience, but I can also see its use as a text in astronomy classes, especially in a community school or situations where students typically resist reading the textbook. The writing is light and entertaining, and will engage students, yet it thoroughly covers all the basic concepts of a typical Astro 101 class." - Dr. Katy Garmany, winner of the American Astronomical Society’s Annie J. Cannon Award.
