Download or read book Rock Legends written by Paul Murdin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book relates the history of asteroid discoveries and christenings, from those of the early pioneering giants of Hersehel and Piazzi to modern-day amateurs. Moving from history and anecdotal information to science, the book's structure is provided by the names of the asteroids, including one named after the author. Free from a need to conform to scientific naming conventions, the names evidence hero-worship, sycophancy, avarice, vanity, whimsy, erudition and wit, revealing the human side of astronomers, especially where controversy has followed the christening. Murdin draws from extensive historical records to explore the debate over these names. Each age reveals its own biases and preferences in the naming process. “/p> Originally regarded as “vermin of the skies,” asteroids are minor planets, rocky scraps left over from the formation of the larger planets, or broken fragments of worlds that have collided. Their scientific classification as “minor” planets makes them seem unimportant, but over the past decades asteroids have been acknowledged to be key players in the Solar System. This view of their starring role even alters the trajectories of spacecraft: NASA’s policy for new space missions en route to the outer planets is that they must divert to study passing asteroids whenever possible. This book provides for readers a complete tour of the fascinating world of asteroids.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to its practical value for identification purposes, this collection provides a most interesting historical insight into the work of those astronomers who, over two centuries, revealed their true affinities in a rich and colourful variety of ingenious names - from heavenly goddesses to more prosaic constructions. This third, revised and enlarged edition contains the naming citations for over 95% of the named planets and thus provides a comprehensive data compilation for both astronomers and science historians.

Download or read book Comet for Data Science written by Angelica Lo Duca and published by Packt Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gain the key knowledge and skills required to manage data science projects using Comet Key Features • Discover techniques to build, monitor, and optimize your data science projects • Move from prototyping to production using Comet and DevOps tools • Get to grips with the Comet experimentation platform Book Description This book provides concepts and practical use cases which can be used to quickly build, monitor, and optimize data science projects. Using Comet, you will learn how to manage almost every step of the data science process from data collection through to creating, deploying, and monitoring a machine learning model. The book starts by explaining the features of Comet, along with exploratory data analysis and model evaluation in Comet. You'll see how Comet gives you the freedom to choose from a selection of programming languages, depending on which is best suited to your needs. Next, you will focus on workspaces, projects, experiments, and models. You will also learn how to build a narrative from your data, using the features provided by Comet. Later, you will review the basic concepts behind DevOps and how to extend the GitLab DevOps platform with Comet, further enhancing your ability to deploy your data science projects. Finally, you will cover various use cases of Comet in machine learning, NLP, deep learning, and time series analysis, gaining hands-on experience with some of the most interesting and valuable data science techniques available. By the end of this book, you will be able to confidently build data science pipelines according to bespoke specifications and manage them through Comet. What you will learn • Prepare for your project with the right data • Understand the purposes of different machine learning algorithms • Get up and running with Comet to manage and monitor your pipelines • Understand how Comet works and how to get the most out of it • See how you can use Comet for machine learning • Discover how to integrate Comet with GitLab • Work with Comet for NLP, deep learning, and time series analysis Who this book is for This book is for anyone who has programming experience, and wants to learn how to manage and optimize a complete data science lifecycle using Comet and other DevOps platforms. Although an understanding of basic data science concepts and programming concepts is needed, no prior knowledge of Comet and DevOps is required.

Book excerpt: An asteroid is the name given to rocks or particles that orbit the sun. The definition is very broad, in part because of the fact that asteroids vary in size and composition. They can be tiny dust particles, or they can be hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Most asteroids are located in what is known as the asteroid belt. This area between Jupiter and Mars contains many remnants of the gas and particles that resulted from the solar system?s formation over 4.6 billion years ago.Trojan asteroids follow a planet?s orbit. Trojans are held in the orbit at the planet?s Lagrangian points by the gravitational pull of two larger bodies. Jupiter has the largest number of Trojans, with the possibility of hundreds or thousands of asteroids located in its orbit.Scientists have identified four asteroids in Mars? orbit, and they recently discovered one asteroid that follows Earth?s orbital path. Scientists believe that Trojan asteroids are pulled into the orbit by the planet?s gravitational pull. The asteroids may also be pulled out of the orbit from another planet?s pull, or they could be knocked out by a collision.Scientists recently discovered what they believe to be Earth?s first Trojan asteroid. It is currently called 2010 TK7, and they will gather more information before giving it a formal name. Little is known about 2010 TK7.This is the story of seven of the solar system's strangest Trojan asteroids:APOPHIS: the asteroid that could smash into the Earth sometime in 2029 or 2036.BAPTISTINA: the asteroid which was thought to have caused the extinction of Dinosaurs.CERES: the biggest asteroid in the Solar System orbiting at an average distance of 413 million km from the Sun. HEKTOR: the Biggest Trojan asteroid was discovered in 1907. KLEOPATRA: a Metal Dog Bone with moons. Kleopatra has two moons, which were named Alexhelios and Cleoselene earlier this year. THEMIS: a large main belt asteroid stands out as the first and only asteroid known thus far to have ice on its surface.TOUTATIS: asteroid Toutatis is one of the oddest space rocks and approaches Earth on December 12, 2012.
