El libro de Julieta Fierro y Miguel Angel Herrera considera los aspectos generales del funcionamiento del Sistema Solar, asi como la descripcion del Sol como el motor que genera el orden planetario.
*; Explores a wide variety of anomalous structures on Mars's surface that display a high degree of geometric and pictographic design*; Examines sites such as the Elysium pyramid famously described by Carl Sagan and city complexes in the Nepenthes Mensae and Atlantis Chaos regions*; Argues that Mayan creation stories of a Star War and Sumerian myths of the Anunnaki provide ancient evidence for the existence of a Martian cultureExploring evidence of a lost Martian civilization and its contact with Earth, investigator George Haas examines a wide variety of anomalous structures and geoglyphs on Mars's surface that display a high degree of geometric and symbolic design that reveal an ancient bond between Earth and Mars.
Georg Joachim Rheticus: Ein Name, der in den Schatten seines berühmten Lehrers Nikolaus Kopernikus gerückt ist – und dennoch ein unverzichtbarer Architekt der modernen Astronomie.
Obwohl Menschen auf keinen Fall zu den gefährdeten Tierarten auf diesem Planeten gehören, treibt Menschen offensichtlich die Sorge und die Befürchtung um, dass die Menschheit nicht überleben und damit die Tierart Homo sapiens für immer ausgelöscht werden könnte.

Mich fasziniert an Asteroiden und Kometen ja am meisten die Zwiespältigkeit der Himmelskörper: Einerseits haben sie der Erde möglicherweise das Wasser gebracht, andererseits können sie ganze Landstriche in einem Feuerball vernichten.
Diese Monographie bietet Raum, den Innovationen in der Geschichte der Astronomie gebündelt nachzugehen, seien es instrumentelle Entwicklungen, neue Meß- oder Auswertemethoden, neue Weltbilder oder revolutionäre Entwicklungen und spektakuläre Entdeckungen, und damit Material für weitere wissenschaftstheoretische und philosophische Überlegungen bereitzustellen.
This concise and systematic account of the current state of this new branch of astrophysics presents the theoretical foundations of plasma astrophysics, magneto-hydrodynamics and coronal magnetic structures, taking into account the full range of available observation techniques -- from radio to gamma.

'Bite-sized, cutting edge science delivered with enormous enthusiasm - all you need to travel the cosmos' CHRIS LINTOTT 'A lot of astrophysics is packed into this neat little book .
This concise, illuminating guide takes us on a comprehensive tour of the solar system, from the Sun at its very heart - via the planets and their moons - to the icy objects at its periphery, some 150 billion kilometres away.
In einer Zeit, in der das Abendland noch in den Schatten des Mittelalters gehüllt war, erstrahlte im Osten ein Licht der Erkenntnis, das die Nacht des Unwissens durchbrach.
In The Moon David Whitehouse explains how our nearest celestial neighbor was created (and what moonrocks tell us of its earth-shattering origins), and how its existence may have been a crucial factor in mankind being here at all.
In The Sun, David Whitehouse takes us on a journey to the heart of our local star and beyond, relating how it was born, the many ways it influences life on Earth and how it will die.
