Download or read book Meteor Showers and their Parent Comets written by Peter Jenniskens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meteor Showers and their Parent Comets is a unique handbook for astronomers interested in observing meteor storms and outbursts. Spectacular displays of 'shooting stars' are created when the Earth's orbit crosses a meteoroid stream, as each meteoroid causes a bright light when it enters our atmosphere at high speed. Jenniskens, an active meteor storm chaser, explains how meteoroid streams originate from the decay of meteoroids, comets and asteroids, and how they cause meteor showers on Earth. He includes the findings of recent space missions to comets and asteroids, the risk of meteor impacts on Earth, and how meteor showers may have seeded the Earth with ingredients that made life possible. All known meteor showers are identified, accompanied by fascinating details on the most important showers and their parent comets. The book predicts when exceptional meteor showers will occur over the next fifty years, making it a valuable resource for both amateur and professional astronomers.

Along the way, she lived with an indigenous Mayan community in Guatemala, hiked alone in the Ecuadorian Andes, got mugged in Costa Rica, swam across the border from Costa Rica to Panama, slept under a meteor shower in the cracked salt desert of Gujarat and learnt to conquer her deepest fears.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sunshine and Moonlight: With, Also, a Flash of Comets, Meteors and Shooting Stars, and a Twinkle of Starlight; How the Boys and Girls Had a Holiday "Outing," at Home In making a rather wide departure from the, line Of his former efforts Of this kind, A man trusts that his work will be, at least, no less acceptable than has that which has already been Offered. It is his wish that this little volume, the sixth Of the series, may not only please and entertain, in a measure, those who may chance to read it, but that it may awaken in some Of them, at least, a strong desire to know more of these things; that it may lead them to seek a fuller knowledge Of god's works and ways as Shown, not alone in the wonders Of the heavens, but in the manifold wonders everywhere about us, on and in the earth, as well, - for it is literally a world of wonders. A man would have his little books to accomplish something in the way Of supplanting the trashy and vicious literature, now so freely Offered to young people, with something far better, by pointing out to his young friends some Of the paths along which they may most pleasantly and profitably travel. As with former issues, the indulgence of Older and more critical readers is asked touching the matters Of frequent repetitions, Odd phraseology, etc., made necessary by the nature of the work; to pre sent the wonderful truths Of astronomy so that little folks may under stand them even fairly well, is no light task. The aim has been to present elementary facts as plainly as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
