Titoli in Astronomia e scienze spaziali

A little over a century ago, a young Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity to the world and utterly transformed our understanding of the universe. His theory changed the way we think about space and time, revealed how our universe has been expanding from a hot, dense state called the big bang and predicted black holes. Where the Universe Came From is a 13.8 billiion-year journey through the cosmos.

‘It didn’t matter that they were now three miles beyond their target site, that communications were dropping out and that they were running low on fuel. All that mattered to Neil as he searched for a safe spot to land was that boulders littered the surface below. “Thirty seconds,” called mission control. In truth, the flight controllers were now no more than spectators, just like everybody else. No more needed to be said. It was down to Armstrong

Our true origins are not only human, or even terrestrial, but in fact cosmic. Drawing on recent scientific breakthroughs and cross-pollination among geology, biology, astrophysics, and cosmology, Origins illuminates the soul-stirring leaps in our understanding of the cosmos. This newly revised and updated edition features such startling discoveries as the more than 5,000 newly detected exoplanets that shed light on the origins of and possibilities for life in the cosmos.

Il sistema solare è formato dalla nostra stella, il sole, e da diversi pianeti ed asteroidi che girano intorno ad esso, a distanze diverse. Già, ma a quali distanze?

Black holes are some of the most fascinating phenomena in the natural universe. In this beautiful pocket volume, Odenwald explores the science behind black holes in simple and accessible language. He explains what black holes are, how they come into existence, and how they affect the universe around us. Taking into consideration subjects such as gravity, quantum mechanics, the holographic principle and thermodynamics along the way, The Essential Book of Black Holes provides the perfect starting point for anyone interested in the subject.

Dall’osservazione degli astri all’esplorazione dello Spazio, un viaggio astronomico guidati da Luca Reduzzi, curatore del Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci di Milano.🔈Alcune delle più belle storie di Astronomia e Spazio partendo dalle esposizioni del Museo per arrivare nelle profondità dell’Universo, passando da globi e telescopi, lanciatori e satelliti, le missioni Apollo sulla Luna… e anche i marziani.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a talent for guiding readers through the mysteries of outer space with stunning clarity and almost childlike enthusiasm. This collection of his essays from Natural History magazine explores a myriad of cosmic topics. Tyson introduces us to the physics of black holes by explaining what would happen to our bodies if we fell into one; he also examines the needless friction between science and religion, and notes Earth's status as "an insignificantly small speck in the cosmos".

Where do you go to let your curiosity fly? The backyard, of course. The setting for this audio original program is the backyard of William Shatner’s Los Angeles home, where he and Neil deGrasse Tyson enjoy a powerful, open-hearted conversation steeped in wonder. Having become fast friends and verbal sparring partners, the two men discuss the quest for knowledge that has driven human exploration and discovery over centuries, drawing from historical and contemporary examples.

Miguel Miranda é geofísico e durante dez anos dirigiu o IPMA. José Manuel Fernandes é jornalista mas antes pensou que ia ser biólogo. Uma conversa sobre Ciência com o nosso planeta como pano de fundo.

This audiobook is about the American moon landings - and about the doubts expressed ever since concerning the reality of these landings. Were the images of men on the moon really just a huge and cleverly executed hoax? Eversberg explains the best-known claims and conspiracy theories

Built of titanium and a chrome-nickel alloy known as Inconel X, the X-15 was the fastest plane ever built, streaking through the lower reaches of outer space even before the first space capsules reached orbit. First tested in 1959, the X-15 proved to be a crucial testing ground for the astronauts and hardware in the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and even the Space Shuttle programs. Celebrated reporter Richard Tregaskis spent time with the pilots, engineers, and other key personnel involved in the project.

There was a time when “universe” meant all there is. Everything. Yet, in recent years discoveries in physics and cosmology have led a number of scientists to conclude that our universe may be one among many. With crystal-clear prose and inspired use of analogy, Brian Greene shows how a range...

Was könnte da der Sinn des Lebens sein? Der Wissenschaftsinfluencer Tim Vollert hat darauf eine faszinierende Antwort, und die liegt in der Physik. Auf seiner spannenden Reise vom Urknall bis zum Kältetod des Universums erklärt er nicht nur die Physik des Kosmos, sondern auch die Biologie hinter der Entstehung des Lebens.

Kelly Johnson designed the Blackbird, a plane that flew non-stop from London to Los Angeles in less than four hours, outracing the sun and landing four hours before it had taken off, a remarkable feat - and this was more than 35 years ago. Johnson was the innovative genius behind Lockheed's "Skunk Works", and played a leading role in the development of more than forty aircraft, including some of America's most sophisticated planes such as the Constellation, Shooting Star, F-104, U-2, and the SR-71 Blackbird.

A podcast on stationary cosmology, entropy-driven experience, black holes as generative structures, and the deep symmetry beneath apparent change.

En el siglo XVII, en una Europa desgarrada por guerras, disputas religiosas y supersticiones, Johannes Kepler convirtió una vida frágil—marcada por la enfermedad, la precariedad y pérdidas familiares—en una de las transformaciones intelectuales más profundas de la historia. Entre la fe y el método, entre la intuición de una armonía secreta y la disciplina de los datos de Tycho Brahe, Kepler desarmó el cielo “perfecto” de círculos y construyó un nuevo universo de elipses, leyes y números que todavía sostienen la astronomía moderna.
