Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listing more than 500 sky targets, both near and far, in 187 challenges, this observing guide will test novice astronomers and advanced veterans alike. Its unique mix of Solar System and deep-sky targets will have observers hunting for the Apollo lunar landing sites, searching for satellites orbiting the outermost planets, and exploring hundreds of star clusters, nebulae, distant galaxies, and quasars. Each target object is accompanied by a rating indicating how difficult the object is to find, an in-depth visual description, an illustration showing how the object realistically looks, and a detailed finder chart to help you find each challenge quickly and effectively. The guide introduces objects often overlooked in other observing guides and features targets visible in a variety of conditions, from the inner city to the dark countryside. Challenges are provided for the naked eye, through binoculars and the largest backyard telescopes.

This book was released on 2024-10-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years ago, Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe challenged the long-held belief that life originated spontaneously from a primordial soup on Earth — a concept rooted in Aristotelian philosophy and dominant in Western science for over two millennia. They proposed that life might have originated elsewhere in the universe and spread to Earth through a process called panspermia.Hoyle and Wickramasinghe's research, supported by advancements in space technology and astronomy, argued that the origins of life required a cosmological scale beyond the solar system or galaxy. Their work contributed to the emergence of astrobiology, merging astronomy and biology, and indicated a shift from Earth-centered theories of life.Their challenge parallels the Copernican revolution, which displaced Earth from the center of the universe. Similarly, Hoyle and Wickramasinghe's ideas suggest a new paradigm shift in science, moving towards a view of life as a cosmic phenomenon. Recent discoveries, particularly with the James Webb Space Telescope, further support this shift, indicating that a major transformation in our understanding of life's origins may be approaching.

Download or read book Cosmic Journal written by Yanik Silver and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you found a mysterious Cosmic Journal that seemed like it was written just for you? Imagine being handed the 'Galactic Instruction Manual' you should have received at birth, filled with profound wisdom and inspirational messages to help you re-remember who you really are and what the heck you're doing here on this planet. The topics range from the practical to the mystical, including meditations on destiny, calls to find your highest purpose, and solid advice on building an evolved business. Journal prompts and exercises encourage you to write in the book to deepen your understanding of a topic and to reach out to your social network and share the information. The book can be read straight through, but each entry also stands alone so pages can be read at random. You can even use the book as an oracle! Simply hold your question or intention in mind, then flip to a page and read the message from the Universe there. Each page has been whimsically illustrated and hand-lettered by Yanik Silver.
