Download or read book Beyond Pluto written by John Davies and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-07-19 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ten years preceding publication, the known solar system more than doubled in size. For the first time in almost two centuries an entirely new population of planetary objects was found. This 'Kuiper Belt' of minor planets beyond Neptune revolutionised our understanding of the solar system's formation and finally explained the origin of the enigmatic outer planet Pluto. This is the fascinating story of how theoretical physicists decided that there must be a population of unknown bodies beyond Neptune and how a small band of astronomers set out to find them. What they discovered was a family of ancient planetesimals whose orbits and physical properties were far more complicated than anyone expected. We follow the story of this discovery, and see how astronomers, theoretical physicists and one incredibly dedicated amateur observer came together to explore the frozen boundary of the solar system.

Book excerpt: Exploring the Solar System chronicles more than three decades of planetary exploration, revealing the solar system in all its colourful glory.

Download or read book Voyager written by Stephen J. Pyne and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant new account of the Voyager space program-its history, scientific impact, and cultural legacy Launched in 1977, the two unmanned Voyager spacecraft have completed their Grand Tour to the four outer planets, and they are now on course to become the first man-made objects to exit our solar system. To many, this remarkable achievement is the culmination of a golden age of American planetary exploration, begun in the wake of the 1957 Sputnik launch. More than this, Voyager may be one of the purest expressions of exploration in human history. For more than five hundred years the West has been powered by the impulse to explore, to push into a wider world. In this highly original book, Stephen Pyne recasts Voyager in the tradition of Magellan, Columbus, Cook, Lewis and Clark, and other landmark explorers. The Renaissance and Enlightenment-the First and Second Ages of Discovery- sent humans across continents and oceans to find new worlds. In the Third Age, expeditions have penetrated the Antarctic ice, reached the floors of the oceans, and traveled to the planets by new means, most spectacularly via semi-autonomous robot. Voyager probes how the themes of motive and reward are stunningly parallel through all three ages. Voyager, which gave us the first breathtaking images of Jupiter and Saturn, changed our sense of our own place in the universe.

Download or read book Adventures of Poe the Cat written by Thaddeus Hutyra and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Adventures of Poe the Cat” is the third book in the trilogy of fairy tale poems for children, following earlier published books “Chimes and Rhymes for Grown-ups, to be read to Children” and “Abracadabra: Children Bedtime Stories”. The Poetry Universe is a forum for poets and writers on Facebook, created in 2014. Members include experienced poets and beginning poets stepping into the poetry community. Our authors span the globe, and some poems are translated into English to reach a wider audience. My goal, as the forum’s founder, was to create a group whose spirit consists of total writing freedom and the widespread wings of the universe of thought. We are all trying to advance our poetic skills, visiting the furthest dimensions of Earth and the universe with our poetic pen, the starship doing wonders. Freedom and the wings of the Universe, its unfathomable tides, its enchanting veils, whether of time or love or anything else, are number one in what is guiding this group. The spirit of the Poetry Universe forum is aptly represented in its member’s entries. Poems are written across a broad range of subjects as well as in various styles of prose, and originate from all around the world. One aspect of the forum is our “challenges”, which have become very popular. After several challenges specifically designed to create poetry for young readers, we devised the idea of publishing books of children’s poems that would also delight parents. And thus, “Chimes And Rhymes For Grownups” was the first book with fairy tales born and followed by another one, “ Abracadabra: Children Bedtime Stories”, with as enchanting fairy tales and many more drawings that can attract children’s creativity. “Adventures of Poe the Cat” is the third and final book in the trilogy. Let’s give it a warm applause: welcome, dear “Adventures of Poe the Cat”! Our poetry book is rich in excellent, breathtaking poems with spellbound fairy tales that children of all ages will adore. We sincerely hope you enjoy this book as much as we have enjoyed creating it. Your acceptance means to us: ‘Mission Accomplished’, thank you! ~ Thaddeus Hutyra
