Category : Fiction

Pages : 426
Book Description
Pallas Zenith just wants to save her friends and go home. She has no interest in being a princess and even less in fulfilling prophecies. Once upon a time, Pallas was a normal teenage girl from a troubled family. Then she was kidnapped and taken 90,000 light-years to the planet Titan where she was trained for a mission to gain control of the Celestial Sphere. Now, Pallas and the rest of Gamma Squad have a new quest—to rescue their friends and return home to Earth. Their journey takes them back to Olympus, and then to Phoenicia, where Pallas is unexpectedly made Crown Princess of the Eternal Phoenician Empire. Something strange is happening to Pallas, and all is not well on Phoenicia, but Pallas can’t just leave her friends to die in a civil war. If she’s going to save lives, Pallas will have to become something greater than a princess.

Investigating the Origin of the Asteroids and Early Findings on Vesta
Author: Clifford J. Cunningham
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331958118X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
This book assesses the origin of asteroids by analyzing the discovery of Vesta in 1807. Wilhelm Olbers, who discovered Vesta, suggested that the asteroids were the result of a primordial planet’s explosion. Cunningham studies that idea in detail through the writings of Sir David Brewster in Scotland, the era's most prolific writer about the asteroids. He also examines the link between meteorites and asteroids, revealing a synergy between Ernst Chladni, Romantic symbolism, and the music of the spheres. Vesta was a lightning rod for controversy throughout the nineteenth century with observers arguing over its size and color, and the astounding notion that it was self-luminous. It was also a major force for change, as new methods in the field of celestial mechanics were developed to study the orbital perturbations it is subject to. A large selection of private correspondence and scientific papers complete the first comprehensive historical study of Vesta ever published. With a synoptic look at the four asteroids, Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta, Cunningham provides a valuable resource on asteroid origins and explains how they were integrated into the newly revealed solar system of the early nineteenth century.
