Download or read book The Andromeda Galaxy written by Paul Hodge and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1992-06-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andromeda Galaxy, or M31, is an attractive galaxy for astronomers. It is close to us, it is of about the size of our galaxy, it provides some intriguing observational puzzles because the galaxy is nearly edge-on, and many objects can be studied in detail, because they are still sufficiently bright. With the current developments in instrumentation with which increasingly detailed studies of the Andromeda Galaxy can be made, this book provides a solid foundation for the start of new observations. This book is a mine of information about M31. It can be used as a reference by insiders, and at the same time it provides easy access for newcomers to the field.

Book excerpt: Life is looking good for young Captain Saxon Australen. She is due to launch the Eridanison Star under her leadership with a freshly qualified crew the next day. But in a matter of hours, everything changes. Woken from her unrestful sleep by brilliant lights reflecting through the visibility port in her sleeping quarters and the heavy impact of something docking against the Alphacarn Colony, Saxon sets out to find out what's unfolding. Grabbing her rucksack en route, she heads to the main part of the residence. Upon opening the entrance to the main part of her home she is faced with a blazing inferno. She is dragged from the burning scene by someone she finds out is Commander Kaven Farmane, her father's second-in-command. Chaos reigns all around, and the destruction of Alphacarn by a race of pirates known as the Binforcarns is inevitable. Saxon and Commander Farmane head to the Eridanison Star hoping the new crew are ready on board. Before heading aboard, both take a last look of the out-of-control flames in the colony that was once their home. With the crew discovered not to have made it on board, it’s left to Saxon and Commander Kaven Farmane to depart from what’s left of Alphacarn in search of help and a possible new start with the hope of bringing down the Back-Eyed Pirate Galaxy’s notorious murderer Tiris Thuban.

Download or read book Go To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies written by Neale Monks and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies is the first book specifically written for amateur astronomers who own, or who are about to purchase, a computer-controlled ‘go-to’ telescope. The advantage of the ‘go-to’ capability is enormous – the telescope can be aimed at any object in the sky with great speed and accuracy – which is why these instruments are so popular. Making the realistic assumption that the observer is using a relatively small telescope and is observing from a backyard in a suburban area, this book provides literally hundreds more targets beyond those offered by the built-in ‘nightly tours’ that feature on the telescope’s computer tours. And instead of wasting many pages on maps and coordinates, it leads the computer to locate the targets, and so has room to suggest many more fascinating deep-sky objects and provide detailed observing lists and information about what's being viewed.
