Pages : 209
Book Description
Thirty years ago, the only planets we knew were the ones orbiting our own sun; we now know of thousands of other worlds orbiting distant stars. In this book, astronomer Niall Deacon journeys to twenty of these globes: from giant, blisteringly hot planets orbiting close to their parent stars to planets that float through the cold wilderness of space alone, and from dead stars shredding asteroids to worlds made of diamond—and even planets that may be similar to the Earth. Deacon also takes in the latest exoplanet discoveries and explains how astronomers have come to learn so much about these strange and distant worlds. Twenty Worlds tells a sweeping story, of real planets around other stars, and it will fascinate a universe of fans of popular science and astronomy.

Heliophysics: Active Stars, their Astrospheres, and Impacts on Planetary Environments
Author: Carolus J. Schrijver
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316489787
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
Heliophysics is a fast-developing scientific discipline that integrates studies of the Sun's variability, the surrounding heliosphere, and the environment and climate of planets. This volume, the fourth in the Heliophysics collection, explores what makes the conditions on Earth 'just right' to sustain life, by comparing Earth to other solar system planets, by comparing solar magnetic activity to that of other stars, and by looking at the properties of evolving exoplanet systems. By taking an interdisciplinary approach and using comparative heliophysics, the authors illustrate how we can learn about our local cosmos by looking beyond it, and in doing so, also enable the converse. Supplementary online resources are provided, including lecture presentations, problem sets and exercise labs, making this ideal as a textbook for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, as well as a foundational reference for researchers in the many subdisciplines of helio- and astrophysics.

Book Description
He lived a sheltered life until the nav-com flashed the message, ‘Location Unknown. Searching for Star Fix...’ Ensign Nivpul Exavent has dreamt since boyhood of becoming the first person to pilot the next generation star ship his grandfather would one day build. When a surprise call from his grandfather puts Nivpul at the helm, flying solo, he's in his element, until a spacial anomaly strands him far beyond known space and any hope of support, or rescue. The discovery of a small ship tumbling on the edge of a stellar storm offers Nivpul a first hope for charting a path home, and shackles him with a survivor he dare not trust yet promises access to resources he cannot turn down. When her help causes him to stumble upon examples of technology from home, he finds himself thrust into a world his position as a junior officer in a trading fleet never prepared him for, but within which she moved with too much ease.
