Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to understand the invisible, look careful at the visible. The Talmud A 'bird's eye' or rather a distant spacecraft's view of the solar system reveals an assembly of planets, terrestrial, giant and Pluto. The orbital motions are in the same sense, counter clockwise, as seen from the north of the general flattened space within which the planetary motions are confined. This state of affairs is corevolving and, more or less, coplanar. The rotations are in the same sense as the revolutions, with the strikiiig exception of Uranus whose sense of rotation is perpendicular to its plane of revolution. As time goes by, most of the planets remain fairly close to a general plane and at no time stray unduly far from it; they remain confined within a rather narrow box or disk with a large 'equatorial' extent. The most distant planet, Pluto, requires a diameter of some 80 astronomical units for the disk. One astronomical unit is the distance of the Earth to the Sun, to be more precise the length of half the major axis of the Earth's slightly elliptical orbit around the Sun, and amounts to nearly 149600000 km.

The more she learns about Birch Grove's recent past, the more Jane comes to suspect that there is something sinister going on. Why did the wife of a popular teacher kill herself?

Download or read book Dark Companion written by Andre Norton and published by Baen. This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a future where humanity has scattered itself across the stars and Earth itself is now a dimly-remembered place of legend, two worlds of near-supernatural strangeness challenge two naive but courageous heros. The planet Beltane had been unscathed by the all-encompassing war of the four Sectors when Vere Collis and his friends, exploring caves underground, were trapped by powerful explosions on the surface. Their leader was killed, but the group wandered for days underground to find a way to the surface. They emerged to find that they were the last human survivors on Beltane. Only strange and deadly mutant creatures now roamed the surface. Elsewhere in the galaxy, Kilda¿s home planet had no place for her, so she took employment as a teacher and governess to two young children on the planet named Dylan. But she soon found that one of her charges has an invisible ¿dread companion¿¿and soon Kilda knows that the companion is not imaginary at all, as it leads her charges into an other-dimensional world resembling the legends of Faerie. Though the other world has unknown dangers on every hand, Kilda follows the children across the spatial barrier, knowing that she is their only hope. Two complete novels of two very different heroes battling alien and unknown evil, and fighting to protect the helpless in worlds that are wondrous, terrifying, and utterly alien. Publisher¿s Note: Dark Companion has previously appeared separately as Dark Piper and Dread Companion. This is the first combined publication in paperback of the complete book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in a sweeping and action-packed debut fantasy duology loosely inspired by the early climbers of Mt. Everest—perfect for fans of Cindy Pon and Alison Goodman. Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the Emperor’s royal explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry, mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a chance. But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River Shara, the greatest explorer ever known, arrives in her village and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister Lusha, as everyone had expected—for his next expedition. This is Kamzin’s chance to prove herself—even though River’s mission to retrieve a rare talisman for the emperor means climbing Raksha, the tallest and deadliest mountain in the Aryas. Then Lusha sets off on her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer who is determined to best River, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to her: protecting her sister from the countless perils of the climb or beating her to the summit. The challenges of climbing Raksha are unlike anything Kamzin expected—or prepared for—with avalanches, ice chasms, ghosts, and even worse at every turn. And as dark secrets are revealed, Kamzin must unravel the truth of their mission and of her companions—while surviving the deadliest climb she has ever faced.
Download or read book There is 3 Cosmic Framework in the Universe Including Dark Matter and Dark Energy written by Hsien-Jung Ho and published by Newidea Research Center. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on String theory, there is 3-cosmic framework of the Universe, which has triple cosmoses in the whole of space that can find a dark planet, located inside the Earth, but in the other cosmos than ours. Based on the 8 data of the cosmological parameters from the first year of WMAP observations to the Planck satellite observations in 2018, it can be speculated that the current dark energy should be taken as the residual energy of the Universe after the Big Ban. Due to the rapid expansion of other high-energy-density cosmoses, its dark matter should exert a gravitational pull on the stars of our low-energy-density cosmos that causes the effect of accelerating the expansion of our cosmos.

Download or read book Wobbling Star written by Ronald D Ferguson and published by Ronald D Ferguson. This book was released on with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does tasking an AI with learning to become a fiction writing assistant set it on the pathway to sentience? Be careful when an Ai insists on converting your diary to an audio novel. It may have a hidden purpose. When Henri Kourtney agrees to ferry torg-hunting tourists to the wilderness of a backwoods planet, he postpones his ambition to explore the stars. Henri hopes the expedition allows him time to get to know the cute girl from Earth and maybe land him an interstellar berth with her astrophysicist cousin. He doesn't expect that his angry ex-girlfriend will join the trip, that the tourists are more interested in satellite-image planetography than torg, that torg are not native to the planet, or that his new AI digital assistant's constant bickering over the writing style of his journal is the birth pang of sentience. The biggest surprise is that a mineral-encrusted artifact conceals a purpose as mundane as a subway token, and that all their lives will depend on whether the cosmic subway still runs. —The dreams you imagine are not always as good as the reality you get. Wobbling Star is a coming-of-age interstellar adventure and romance.
