In recent years Greg - a.k.a. 'Space Gandalf' - has taken on cult status among audiences via his appearances alongside Professor Brian Cox in the hit TV series Stargazing Live. Greg's practical explanations of the complexities of space have also earned him respect from astronomers around the world. Is The Moon Upside Down? is an absorbing guided tour of the cosmos as seen through Greg's eyes.

Der zwölfteilige Tierkreis und seine graue Vorzeit werfen zwei Rätsel auf: Wer entwarf ihn und warum wurde der himmlische Zyklus in zwölf Abschnitte unterteilt? Die Antworten erfordern das Überschreiten einer Schwelle zu der Erkenntnis, dass sich unter dem Mantel der scheinbar astrologischen Bedeutung der Unterteilung des Himmels in zwölf Teile eine hoch entwickelte Astronomie verbirgt, eine tatsächlich so weit entwickelte Astronomie, dass der Mensch selbst sie nicht beherrscht haben konnte, als die Unterteilung des Himmelskreises begann.

The Sky Is for Everyone is an internationally diverse collection of autobiographical narratives by women who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. This audiobook vividly describes how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of women astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century. After decades of difficult struggles, women are closer to equality in astronomy than ever before.

“Sarah Stewart Johnson interweaves her own coming-of-age story as a planetary scientist with a vivid history of the exploration of Mars in this celebration of human curiosity, passion, and perseverance.”—Alan Lightman, author of Einstein’s Dreams WINNER OF THE PHI BETA KAPPA AWARD...

Now a major motion picture, this is the first—and only—definitive authorized account of Neil Armstrong, the man whose “one small step” changed history. When Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon’s surface in 1969, the first man on the Moon became a legend. In First Man, author James R...

In this guide to science and society, a cosmologist argues that physics must embrace the excluded, listen to the unheard, and be unafraid of being wrong. Years ago, cosmologist Stephon Alexander received life-changing advice: to discover real physics, he needed to stop memorizing and start...

Star Suite: Reassembling the Sky We live beneath a fragmented heaven. Once, humanity read the night sky as a single, coherent text - a cosmic scripture where every star was a syllable, every constellation a chapter in an epic spanning creation, consciousness, and time itself. This scripture wove together astronomy, myth, and fate into a unified science of meaning. That text was shattered. Its pages were scattered across cultures, labeled as separate “mythologies”: Greek, Vedic, Egyptian, Aboriginal. Its grammar was forgotten. Star Suite is an project to reassemble it. This is not astrology...

O tempo não é um conceito abstrato. É uma substância material que ocupa todo o universo e se deforma, vibra, oscila. De Newton a Einstein, de Planck ao relógio cósmico, foi protagonista de metamorfoses vertiginosas, fascinantes e monstruosas. O tempo flui? Ou está parado? E como é medido? Como a gravidade o retarda? E como os buracos negros conseguem pará-lo? Sempre vivemos no tempo, que, no entanto, não é eterno.

With the support of former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, investigative reporter Leslie Kean draws on her research to separate fact from fiction and to lift the veil on decades of U.S. government misinformation. Throughout, she presents irrefutable evidence that unknown flying objects - metallic, luminous, and seemingly able to maneuver in ways that defy the laws of physics - actually exist.

Un podcast insolito , 15/20 minuti di vera scienza raccontata con una onestissima stupidità in modo che anche i non addetti ai lavori possano apprezzare un pò di conoscenza senza l'intervento di paroloni ogni mezzo secondo. Affronteremo un po di astronomia , un pò di scienza in generale e tutto ciò che serve per capire , il tutto contornato da una buona dose di ironia.IG ubi_mmc per info e richieste

How many Carl Sagan fans know that while the renowned scientist was at Stanford University, he produced a controversial paper, funded by a NASA research grant, that concludes that ancient alien intervention may have sparked human civilization? Author Donald L. Zygutis lays out a compelling case that points to a cover-up by the Pentagon and NASA, who may have buried it soon after it was written. How significant is the Stanford paper?

Ripples in Spacetime is an engaging account of the international effort to complete Einstein's project, capture his elusive ripples, and launch an era of gravitational-wave astronomy that promises to explain, more vividly than ever before, our universe's structure and origin. The quest for gravitational waves involved years of risky research and many personal and professional struggles that threatened to derail one of the world's largest scientific endeavors.

Black holes, predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public with their bizarre and fantastical properties. Although Einstein understood that black holes were mathematical solutions to his equations, he never accepted their physical reality - a viewpoint many shared. After introducing the basics of the special and general theories of relativity, this book describes black holes both as astrophysical objects and theoretical "laboratories".

This is a fascinating introduction to the history of Western astronomy, from prehistoric times to the origins of astrophysics in the mid-19th century. Historical records are first found in Babylon and Egypt, and after two millennia the arithmetical astronomy of the Babylonians merged with the Greek geometrical approach to culminate in the Almagest of Ptolemy. This legacy was transmitted to the Latin West via Islam and led to Copernicus's claim that the Earth is in motion.

More than half a century after humans first walked on the Moon, exciting new space adventures are in the works. Thanks to major advances in rocketry, robotics, and other space technologies, humanity is on the verge of returning to the Moon, exploring Mars, building permanent orbiting space stations, expanding space tourism, and pushing the boundaries of exploration throughout the solar system and beyond. The Future of Space Exploration explores these exciting developments in 12 half-hour episodes, hosted by aerospace engineer and executive Dr. Ariel Ekblaw.

In a race against time, the Apollo program challenged our scientific capabilities and redefined the boundaries of humanity. To celebrate NASA’s 60 years of exploration, Seeker went back in time to relive each Apollo mission. Listen along as Seeker dives into the whole story from its WWII origins to its present day possibilities available for the first time in audio.

Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today.
