Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTHING IS SAFE ON EARTH; YOU NEED A BACKUP PLANET. YOU CAN NEVER FIND A PLANET LIKE EARTH; YOU CAN’T SEARCH FOREVER. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A PERFECT PLANET. Earth was once a beautiful planet with abundant natural resources. After making the planet uninhabitable, the humans escaped to Mars and to exoplanets in nearby galaxies. But, did they feel comfortable and safe on the new planets? After living happily on Mars for two millennia, who ever expected that Earth would haunt the human settlers on Mars once again? Halik, a young officer on planet Sulok in Triangulum, took the mantle of saving Mars from Earth. Before he could think about saving Mars, he had to learn a lot about Earth – why the humans left the planet, how they travelled across galaxies, how they made Mars and exoplanets liveable and the new species they encountered.

Download or read book Galaxies A Very Short Introduction written by John Gribbin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, each is made up of many hundreds of millions of stars in which the chemical elements are made, around which planets form, and where on at least one of those planets intelligent life has emerged. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is just one of several hundred million other galaxies that we can now observe through our telescopes. Yet it was only in the 1920s that we realised that there is more to the Universe than the Milky Way, and that there were in fact other 'islands' out there. In many ways, modern astronomy began with this discovery, and the story of galaxies is therefore the story of modern astronomy. Since then, many exciting discoveries have been made about our own galaxy and about those beyond: how a supermassive black hole lurks at the centre of every galaxy, for example, how enormous forces are released when galaxies collide, how distant galaxies provide a window on the early Universe, and what the formation of young galaxies can tell us about the mysteries of Cold Dark Matter. In this Very Short Introduction, renowned science writer John Gribbin describes the extraordinary things that astronomers are learning about galaxies, and explains how this can shed light on the origins and structure of the Universe. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Download or read book Outskirts of Galaxies written by Johan H. Knapen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-09 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of invited reviews written by world-renowned experts on the subject of the outskirts of galaxies, an upcoming field which has been understudied so far. These regions are faint and hard to observe, yet hide a tremendous amount of information on the origin and early evolution of galaxies. They thus allow astronomers to address some of the most topical problems, such as gaseous and satellite accretion, radial migration, and merging. The book is published in conjunction with the celebration of the end of the four-year DAGAL project, an EU-funded initial training network, and with a major international conference on the topic held in March 2016 in Toledo. It thus reflects not only the views of the experts, but also the scientific discussions and progress achieved during the project and the meeting. The reviews in the book describe the most modern observations of the outer regions of our own Galaxy, and of galaxies in the local and high-redshift Universe. They tackle disks, haloes, streams, and accretion as observed through deep imaging and spectroscopy, and guide the reader through the various formation and evolution scenarios for galaxies. The reviews focus on the major open questions in the field, and explore how they can be tackled in the future. This book provides a unique entry point into the field for graduate students and non-specialists, and serves as a reference work for researchers in this exciting new field.
