Download or read book If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens WHERE IS EVERYBODY written by Stephen Webb and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-10-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 1950 conversation at Los Alamos, four world-class scientists generally agreed, given the size of the Universe, that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations must be present. But one of the four, Enrico Fermi, asked, "If these civilizations do exist, where is everybody?" Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 million stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 million galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14 billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. Webb discusses in detail the 50 most cogent and intriguing solutions to Fermi's famous paradox.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning STEM feast on NASA's Webb Telescope--the world's most powerful telescope--will marvel future scientists and engineers about space and the universe beyond. Building the James Webb Space Telescope was no easy feat. It started with a big dream and an even bigger team: thousands of engineers and scientists across the country and world. The team solved design challenges, built prototypes, and ran test after test. They experienced frustration, page-turning suspense, and, ultimately, triumph. After decades of work, a rocket catapulted the Webb Telescope into space. With Webb, we can now see farther than we've ever seen before. The first Webb images, released on July 11, 2022, captivated the world. Today the Webb team continues releasing new images and making astonishing discoveries. This is their story, as told by a mechanical engineer and reviewed for accuracy by key members of the Webb team.

Download or read book Astrophysics in the Next Decade written by Harley A. Thronson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-03 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), planned for operation in about five years, will have the capability to investigate – and answer – some of the most challenging questions in astronomy. Although motivated and designed to study the very early Universe, the performance of the observatory’s instruments over a very wide wavelength range will allow the world’s scientific community unequaled ability to study cosmic phenomena as diverse as small bodies in the Solar System and the formation of galaxies. As part of preparation to use JWST, a conference was held in Tucson, Arizona in 2007 that brought together astronomers from around the world to discuss the mission, other major facilities that will operate in the coming decade, and major scientific goals for them. This book is a compilation of those presentations by some of the leading researchers from all branches of astronomy. This book also includes a “pre-history” of JWST, describing the lengthy process and some of the key individuals that initiated early work on the concepts that would evolve to become the premier space observatory of the next decade.
Download or read book Why the Universe Is the Way It Is written by Hugh Ross and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist. Yet these researchers--along with countless ordinary folks--resist belief in the biblical Creator. Why? They say a loving God would have made a better home for us, one without trouble and tragedy. In Why the Universe Is the Way It Is, Hugh Ross draws from his depth of study in both science and Scripture to explain how the universe's design fulfills several distinct purposes. He also reveals God's surpassing love and ultimate purposes for each individual. Why the Universe Is the Way It Is will interest anyone who wonders where and how the universe came to be, what or who is responsible for it, why we are here, or how and when the universe ends. Far from leaving the reader at this philosophical jumping-off point, Ross builds toward answering the big question of human destiny and the specific question of each reader's personal destiny.

This book was released on 2010-03-08 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From September 2007 to June 2008 the Space Studies Board conducted an international public seminar series, with each monthly talk highlighting a different topic in space and Earth science. The principal lectures from the series are compiled in Forging the Future of Space Science. The topics of these events covered the full spectrum of space and Earth science research, from global climate change, to the cosmic origins of life, to the exploration of the Moon and Mars, to the scientific research required to support human spaceflight. The prevailing messages throughout the seminar series as demonstrated by the lectures in this book are how much we have accomplished over the past 50 years, how profound are our discoveries, how much contributions from the space program affect our daily lives, and yet how much remains to be done. The age of discovery in space and Earth science is just beginning. Opportunities abound that will forever alter our destiny.
Download or read book James Webb Space Telescope written by Gregory Alessi and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the journey of the James Webb Space Telescope, written shortly after operations started. It has been under development for a while. The project began in 1996, or, as of this writing, about 25 years ago. It is a NASA project that has the help of the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency. The project has received contributions from fifteen nations. Four major objectives drive the project. These include looking for signs of life in distant planetary systems while studying the evolution of galaxies; the birth of stars and planetary systems; and the earliest stars and galaxies that emerged after the Big Bang. This book exposes the structure and logical capabilities of the Webb infrared telescope in a feasible language. For a subjective and intentional appreciation of the pertinence and significance of this logical device, the book integrates a general sketch of space science, astronomy, and the achievements of the Webb telescope's progenitors. This initial information would make it easier to comprehend more point by points and sophisticated logical facts and frequent news in media about Webb's results particularly, as well as about the area of space research broadly. On July 12, NASA will release the first scientific photographs from Webb. You can follow all of the action here on Space.com, courtesy of NASA, or on the agency's website. NASA's largest and most powerful space research observatory, the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, will investigate the cosmos to learn about the universe's history, from the Big Bang to alien planet creation and beyond.
