Praise for the previous edition'A relaxed, well-written and information-packed expedition discovering the history of eclipses' - The Sky at NightA complete guide to the most stunning of celestial sights, a total eclipse of the Sun Totality: The Great North American Eclipse of 2024 is the most comprehensive source of information, photographs, and illustrations to help readers understand and safely enjoy all aspects of solar eclipses.
This book presents observational studies of the earliest stages of high-mass star formation, as revealed by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

Once you have looked at the night sky on a moonless night it is not hard to realise why so much of our science and religion has its roots in the stars.
The book begins with a historical introduction, "e;Star Formation: The Early History"e;, that presents new material of interest for students and historians of science.
Discover all you need to know about MarsIncludes the historic, cultural and scientific background and exploratory missions within one accessible guide for aspiring and seasoned astronomers, packed full of stunning images.
Planetary Aeronomy is a modern and concise introduction to the underlying physical and chemical processes that govern the formation and evolution of the upper atmospheres of planets.
Our purpose in writing this book is to show how physics has been applied to developing our current understanding of the phase structure, physical condi- tions, chemical makeup and, evolution of the (thermal) interstellar medium.
When we consider the ever increasing amount of astronomical data available to us, we can well say that the needs of modern astronomy are growing by the day.
For a quantitative understanding of the physics of the universe - from the solar system through the milky way to clusters of galaxies all the way to cosmology - these edited lecture notes are perhaps among the most concise and also among the most critical ones: Astrophysics has not yet stood the redundancy test of laboratory physics, hence should be aware of early interpretations.
Physics of Planetary Rings describes striking structures of the planetary rings of Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Neptune: Narrow ringlets, spiral waves, and a chain of clumps.
Written specifically for physicists and graduate students, this textbook focuses on fundamental and sometimes practical limitations on the ultimate performance that an astronomical system may reach, rather than presenting particular systems in detail.
Unique in its breadth of coverage and level of presentation, this textbook provides more on the nature of galaxies, extragalactic objects, the large-scale structure of the Universe, and cosmology than is available in general textbooks on astronomy.
Conceived more than six years ago, this book took much effort to develop, and several updates in parts of the book became necessary because significant ad- vances in the field of Interplanetary Dust had occurred.
This proceedings book contains selected and expanded contributions presented at the 9th International Symposium of Space Optical Instruments and Applications (ISSOIA 2024), held in Guangzhou, China, from 25 to 27 September 2024.
