Download or read book Luna Cognita written by Robert A. Garfinkle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 1680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All three volumes sold as a combined set for a one-time purchase! This comprehensive three-volume set takes you on an incomparable journey of our closest celestial neighbor. Not since the golden age of 19th-century lunar guidebooks has one author managed to cover the Moon in such detail as this all-in-one handbook. Volume 1 begins with a section on the Moon’s place in human history, mythology and lore, before gravitating closer to the Moon itself through scientific sections on the Earth-Moon system, lunar motions and cycles. Following these are technical chapters on how to purchase, use and care for lunar observing and photography equipment. Techniques for observing the Moon (both with the naked eye and optical instruments) are detailed as the reader approaches the Moon’s surface on this visual tour-de-force. A close-up exploration of the Moon is the result. The “crater-hop” chapters in Volumes 1 and 2 discuss the physical aspects of the Moon’s features, offering brief biographical information on the person for whom the feature is named, as well as how each individual was involved in the development of science and selenography from ancient to modern times. Volume 3 contains a plethora of useful appendices that cover a range of topics, from catalogues of lunar features such as nearside lunar domes to a comprehensive list of publishers and observing organizations. Luna Cognita goes far beyond any recent work in both breadth and depth of coverage on the Moon. Written in an accessible, engaging manner for readers of all backgrounds and levels of expertise, this handbook is thus an invaluable resource for anybody who looks up at the glowing sphere in the night sky and wants to learn more about the “Known Moon.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voyagers of the Celestial Realm To sum up, We go on a trip with Luna and her friends through the huge and mysterious world in "The Endless Cosmos," an epic story. This story starts with the junction event, a turning point that marks their brave return to the Celestial Academy. They had looked into the biggest mysteries of the universe, which opened up new lines of contact between Earth and the rest of the universe. The Celestial Academy, an old group whose goal is to study and understand the universe, plays a major role in this book. Here, Luna and her friends got better at what they did and learned more about the world. While they were at the school, they learned a lot, made new discoveries, and made friends that will last a lifetime. As they got ready to leave, the school's hallways were filled with memories of how they went from being curious students to protecting the world. "A Promise to the Stars" draws attention to a key part of the story. Luna and her friends say they will value and protect the knowledge and power they have gained. They promise to protect both Earth and the heavenly realm and keep the secrets and links they've found safe. She becomes famous as an astronomer and shares her vast knowledge with others while keeping her eyes on the night sky, which seems to be full of endless possibilities. This vow changes Luna's life. "The Endless Cosmos," the last part of the book, talks about how big and eternal the world is. The universe keeps growing into an endless pit even after Luna and her friends' story is over. The Celestial Academy will still be there to help people in the future who want to learn about the stars. Now that Luna and her friends have been exploring the world for a while, they are still trying to figure out its mysteries. Their trips aren't over yet; instead, they make them want to see more of the world and try new things all the time. The theme of never-ending wonder and finding comes up over and over again in the story. The story celebrates the human spirit's never-ending quest for information and the need to know everything about the universe. The journey of Luna and her friends shows how people will always be trying to figure out the world and their place in it. As a tribute to the endless secrets and wonders of the universe, "The Endless Cosmos" asks us to look up at the stars and imagine all the things that could happen beyond them. Chapter 1: A Start That Opens Your Eyes In a world not too different from ours, there was a strange school. With its location high above the Earth in the clouds, the Celestial Academy was not your average school. This amazing school taught its students how to control comets and stars, figure out cosmic puzzles, and look into old astral secrets. The little girl at the center of our story, Luna, lived in a cute little house on the edge of a quiet neighborhood. Luna had always been amazed by the night sky. She would be amazed by the stars and look at them for hours on end. She wished on a star every night in the hopes that one day her dreams would come true. On a warm summer evening, Luna lay on the grass and looked at a very bright star. Suddenly, a bright comet shot across the sky. She left behind a trail of sparkling stardust that looked like it was dancing around her. When Luna put out her hand, she was surprised to see stardust swirling around her fingers and making complicated patterns in the air. Moon didn't know how much this great show would change her life. The next morning, when she woke up in her cozy house, there was a strange note on her porch. The invitation, which had the seal of the Celestial Academy on it, said, "Dear Luna, You have been chosen to join the Celestial Academy, where you will learn to harness the power of the stars. Come to the Academy at once. Your adventure in space awaits." She could feel her heartbeat faster. She knew she had to take advantage of this great chance. She left her small village, packed up the few things she owned, and set out on a trip that would take her to the sky. As Luna walked toward the Academy, she was happy with her surroundings. She became more aware of how little she knew about the universe as she traveled. She went through magical woods where the trees seemed to be talking about old stories and over mountains that seemed to reach the sky. It seemed like forever before she got to the bottom of a huge, winding staircase that led up to the clouds. Luna was determined, even though it was hard to climb the stairs. With each step, she felt like she was getting closer to her goal. As she climbed, the ground below became a faraway memory. Instead, she could see nothing but space. At last, she got to the top, where the Celestial Academy shone brightly. Its tall towers were lit up by the sun, and the air was filled with the hum of cosmic energy. As Luna walked into the Academy, she was met by a huge group of other students, each with their own skills and background. She quickly learned that the Academy was a great place to meet new people and share information. It was a place where cultures from all over the universe came together to form new friendships. The teachers were gentlemen with a soft touch who were experts in their fields and knew a lot about them. Luna learned a lot and was amazed a lot while she was at the school. She learned how to use the energy of celestial bodies, find her way around the stars, and read old writings in the sky. She learned how to work with stardust and made beautiful light shows that danced across the sky. Because she loved the stars, Luna was brave and determined as she went through each lesson. Luna learned more about her past as she did her work. They taught her that her link with the stars was stronger than she thought. The rare skill she had to control stardust had been passed down from generation to generation. This made her even more determined to improve her art and become the best student the Academy had ever seen. Luna learned a lot and got to know some new people while she was at the Celestial Academy. She made friends that would last a lifetime, saw miracles she couldn't have imagined, and finally found her place in the world. As Luna looked out at the stars from the top of the Academy's tallest building, she knew she was exactly where she was supposed to be a bright star in an endless universe.

Download or read book Secret Science written by María M. Portuondo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the New World raised many questions for early modern scientists: What did these lands contain? Where did they lie in relation to Europe? Who lived there, and what were their inhabitants like? Imperial expansion necessitated changes in the way scientific knowledge was gathered, and Spanish cosmographers in particular were charged with turning their observations of the New World into a body of knowledge that could be used for governing the largest empire the world had ever known. As María M. Portuondo here shows, this cosmographic knowledge had considerable strategic, defensive, and monetary value that royal scientists were charged with safeguarding from foreign and internal enemies. Cosmography was thus a secret science, but despite the limited dissemination of this body of knowledge, royal cosmographers applied alternative epistemologies and new methodologies that changed the discipline, and, in the process, how Europeans understood the natural world.
