The high point of his day happened when he caught a break in the clouds and was able to take pictures of sunspots for his science fair project, sharing the event with new friend Kelly Winslow. But what they saw on the face of the sun was the beginning of a solar storm powerful enough to disrupt the world and turn heavy snow into a catastrophe.

Download or read book Sunspots and the Sun King written by Ellen McClure and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediation, monarchy, and Louis XIV's attempts to legitimize his reign In order to assert his divine right, Louis XIV missed no opportunity to identify himself as God’s representative on earth. However, in Sunspots and the Sun King Ellen McClure explores the contradictions inherent in attempting to reconcile the logical and mystical aspects of divine right monarchy. McClure analyzes texts devoted to definitions of sovereignty, presents a meticulous reading of Louis XIV’s memoirs to the crown prince, and offers a novel analysis of diplomats and ambassadors as the mediators who preserved and transmitted the king’s authority. McClure asserts that these discussions, ranging from treatises to theater, expose incommensurable models of authority and representation permeating almost every aspect of seventeenth-century French culture.

Download or read book Roses at Dawn in an Ice Age World written by Rolf Witzsche and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2005 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind is the child of the Ice Age. Our more than 2-million-year history extends through the entire Pleistocene Ice Age Epoch. We were shaped by the need to be creative to survive, and still are. Now that our warm interglacial epoch is nearly over, we find ourselves challenged to be creative once again as the global agriculture and with it our food-supply will be radically diminished once we get back into the Ice Age World. Can we protect our agriculture in indoor facilities? That sounds like science fiction, right? It will take a hundred years to do it. But will we upgrade our human dimension to do it, especially in the way we relate to one-another as human beings? We are deeply divided to the very grassroots social level, and isolated. The needed Ice Age Renaissance requires a taller foundation. The novel explores the countless dimensions that are involved in breaking the ice in our social domain, at the level of sexual and marital division and isolation, towards becoming sublime as human beings. The great renaissance principles of universal love and of the advantage of the other are threaded through the story, putting a new light on sex and marriage relationships and expanding them into the universal dimension. This novel is Episode 2B of the science fantasy series, The Lodging for the Rose, by Rolf A. F. Witzsche.
Download or read book From The Sun To The Stars written by James B Kaler and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins at the Sun then travels through the solar system to see the stars, how they work, and ultimately what they mean to us. The idea is to provide an integrated view of the galaxy and its contents. Along the way we look at spectra, atmospheric phenomena, gravity and the laws of motion, telescopes and how they work, interstellar gas and dust, star birth and death, and planets orbiting other stars. Most popular books tend to focus on one particular topic. From the Sun to the Stars is one of the few that tells the story of the Sun against the background of other stars and other planets and, for that matter, of stars and other planets against the background of the Sun and solar system. This presents the subject with a breadth that few other books can match.This book grew out of the OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) lectures given by the author at the University of Illinois. It doesn't require any prior knowledge and is suitable for anyone who is interested in astronomy.
Download or read book The Life and Death of Stars written by Kenneth R. Lang and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this well-illustrated text, Kenneth R. Lang explains the life cycle of stars, from the dense molecular clouds that are stellar nurseries to the enigmatic nebulae some stars leave behind in their violent ends. Free of mathematical equations and technical jargon, Lang's lively and accessible text provides physical insights into how stars such as our Sun are born, what fuels them and keeps them bright, how they evolve and the processes by which they eventually die. The book demonstrates the sheer scope and variety of stellar phenomena in the context of the universe as a whole. Boxed focus elements enhance and amplify the discussion for readers looking for more depth. Featuring more than 150 figures, including color plates, The Life and Death of Stars is a modern and up-to-date account of stars written for a broad audience, from armchair astronomers and popular science readers to students and teachers of science.
Download or read book Sunspot written by Garth Jones and published by Soft Editions. This book was released on 2005-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The giant Sunspot space station is advertised as the ultimate luxury holiday resort. When completed, it will allow its rich guests to enjoy vacations in the comfort of its computer controlled environment in orbit around the fiery planet of Morasmus. Its sophisticated systems will provide the ultimate in virtual reality entertainment and be capable of responding to each individual guest's preferences, even controlling the conditions within their own personal airspace. The more adventurous will be able to use the resort as a base for exploring the spectacularly beautiful surface of Morasmus, where the violent climate has kept the planet largely uninhabited. Sunspot is nearing completion, the final stage being the transit of its computer controlled nervous system from the construction site orbiting the neighbouring planet of Pirismus. The project has been hampered by problems and delays from the outset, but a series of mysterious accidents suggests that something more sinister than management incompetence may now be at work.

Download or read book On Sunspots written by Galileo Galilei and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-30 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo’s telescopic discoveries, and especially his observation of sunspots, caused great debate in an age when the heavens were thought to be perfect and unchanging. Christoph Scheiner, a Jesuit mathematician, argued that sunspots were planets or moons crossing in front of the Sun. Galileo, on the other hand, countered that the spots were on or near the surface of the Sun itself, and he supported his position with a series of meticulous observations and mathematical demonstrations that eventually convinced even his rival. On Sunspots collects the correspondence that constituted the public debate, including the first English translation of Scheiner’s two tracts as well as Galileo’s three letters, which have previously appeared only in abridged form. In addition, Albert Van Helden and Eileen Reeves have supplemented the correspondence with lengthy introductions, extensive notes, and a bibliography. The result will become the standard work on the subject, essential for students and historians of astronomy, the telescope, and early modern Catholicism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was one more defeat in our long and losing battle to keep the Sun perfect, or, if not perfect, constant, and if inconstant, regular. Why we think the Sun should be any of these when other stars are not is more a question for social than for physical science. John A. (“Jack”) Eddy Delineator of the Maunder Minimum On the human Idée fi xe as to why the Sun must be seen energetically as a linear entity. Around 1904, Kapteyn noticed that the stars did not move randomly through space, but that their movements had preferential directions... there was regularity in something astronomers had always thought to be chaotic.
