Let S Hubble

In this book, Melanie presents her beautiful new beadwork technique - Hubble stitch. Packed with tips, all presented in Melanie's fun and friendly style, you will feel as if you're in a creative and dynamic beading workshop. You will soon be incorporating this wonderfully lacy and extraordinarily adaptable stitch into your beading world. To help you learn and practise Hubble, the book contains 12 beautiful projects including a variety of glamorous bracelets and cuffs, gorgeous earrings, a spectacular vortex necklace for spectacles, Hubble ropes, a sparkly crystal scarf ring and finally the Solar Flare â a lovely little versatile beaded element using lots of Hubble techniques combined.

The Hubble Space Telescope is the largest, most complex, and most powerful observatory ever deployed in space. Now Eric Chaisson, the senior scientist on the HST project, tells the inside story of the much heralded mission to fix the telescope. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

This book invites the reader to understand our Universe, not just marvel at it. From the clock-like motions of the planets to the catastrophic collapse of a star into a black hole, gravity controls the Universe. Gravity is central to modern physics, helping to answer the deepest questions about the nature of time, the origin of the Universe and the unification of the forces of nature. Linking key experiments and observations through careful physical reasoning, the author builds the reader's insight step-by-step from simple but profound facts about gravity on Earth to the frontiers of research. Topics covered include the nature of stars and galaxies, the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, black holes, gravitational waves, inflation and the Big Bang. Suitable for general readers and for undergraduate courses, the treatment uses only high-school level mathematics, supplemented by optional computer programs, to explain the laws of physics governing gravity.

An exciting introduction to astronomy, using recent discoveries and stunning photography to inspire non-science majors about the Universe and science.

Book Description: It's the year 2007 and Colonel Mason Perry leading a dedicated group of military and civilian scientists has successfully solved the riddle of Roswell. In their quest for a solution, they discover information of alien visitation, which predates Roswell, and coordinates to a 5000-year-old base near Bimini Island in the Carribbean Ocean. Persuading the government to allow and fund exploration of this new discovery is difficult but once committed, the President of the United States puts his full support behind it. Lieutenant Joe Bailey and the men of SEAL Team Two are dispatched to the Caribbean and locate a submerged chamber. Efforts are mounted to gain entry. Once inside alien robots called Sentinels that were left behind to protect the chamber confront the SEALs. A battle ensues where SEALs emerge bloodied but victorious. Upon returning to Washington, Colonel Perry is granted permission for space exploration using the spacecraft developed from alien technology.

This book explores the history of the discovery of the expanding universe, one of the most exciting exploits in astronomy.

This textbook provides the basic theoretical and practical knowledge of astronomy and astrophysics. It provides an overview from classical astronomy and observational methods to solar physics and astrophysics of stars and galaxies. It concludes with chapters on cosmology, astrobiology, and mathematical and numerical methods. Numerous color illustrations, examples of calculations, and exercises with solutions make this work a useful companion to undergraduate astronomy lectures. The book is suitable for students of physics and astronomy at teacher training level or in the Bachelor's degree - but also people interested in natural sciences with appropriate basic knowledge of mathematics and physics will find here an appealing introduction to the subject. This fourth edition has been updated and revised with respect to the latest developments in astronomy. The chapter on mathematical methods has been redesigned and the software used is now exclusively Python. From the contents: Spherical astronomy - History of astronomy - Celestial mechanics - Astronomical instruments - Physics of the bodies of the solar system - The Sun - State variables of the stars - Stellar atmospheres - Stellar structure - Stellar evolution - Interstellar matter - The Galaxy - Extragalactic systems - Cosmology - Astrobiology - Mathematical methods. This book is a translation of the original German 4th edition Einführung in Astronomie und Astrophysik by Arnold Hanslmeier, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Based on the author's popular lecture notes, this graduate-level textbook provides an accessible and self-contained introduction to cosmology, ideal as a course companion or for self-study. Concepts are explained at an appropriate level of detail, with hundreds of worked examples and problems to facilitate a deeper understanding.
