This second edition includes updated chapters from the first edition as well as five additional new chapters (Light detection and ranging (LiDAR), CORONA historical de-classified products, Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (UAVs), GNSS-reflectometry and GNSS applications to climate variability), shifting the main focus from monitoring and management to extreme hydro-climatic and food security challenges and exploiting big data.
This is a follow-on book to the introductory textbook "e;Physics of the Solar Corona"e; previously published in 2004 by the same author, which provided a systematic introduction and covered mostly scientific results from the pre-2000 era.
The COSPAR Colloquium on Solar-Terrestrial Magnetic Activity and Space Environment (STMASE) was held in the National Astronomy Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) in Beijing, China in September 10-12, 2001.
This book helps to bridge the knowledge gap that currently surrounds space technology and its method of exploration and highlights much-needed awareness and attention to an increase in Space Law and sustainable measures.
Modern Cosmology begins with an introduction to the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric, including careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter.
This short book discusses the latest in terms of cosmology's knowns and unknowns and sets out to ascertain the potential of Orthodox Christian theology for accommodating the current scientific view of the universe.

This book provides a unified treatment of the characteristics of telescopes of all types, both those whose performance is set by geometrical aberrations and the effect of the atmosphere, and those diffraction-limited telescopes designed for observations from above the atmosphere.
Das Buch „Der Mensch im Kosmos – Lebenswelten und Kosmologien“ (Man within the Cosmos – Lifeworlds and Cosmologies) präsentiert die Vorträge der Tagung der Gesellschaft für Archäoastronomie in Weimar 2023 in 17 Kapiteln – Kulturgeschichte der Astronomie von der Steinzeit bis zur Goethezeit.
Unidentified phenomena in space, in the Earth's atmosphere, and in waters are too important to leave their exploration to the military and scientific laypersons.
*; Connects the philosophy of the I Ching with key recent advances in cosmology, such as the Big Bang theory, Roger Penrose's cyclic conformal cosmology, and his and Stuart Hameroff's cosmic quantum brain dynamics*; Explains the Taoist cosmology of Heaven-Humanity Oneness in the context of Teilhard de Chardin's evolutionism, Thomas Berry's cosmogenetic trinity, and Brian Swimme's 12 cosmological powers*; Examines the holographic unity of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind at microcosmic, mesocosmic, and macrocosmic scalesIs the universe inert and empty, or is it in some way responsive to consciousness?
This book is an enhanced and expanded English edition of the treatise "e;Fondamenti matematici e analisi numerica della dinamica di un Universo isotropo,"e; published by the Accademia delle Scienze di Torino in volume no.
This book provides a detailed biographical account of the industrious late nineteenth-century astronomer William Frederick Denning who, in later life, rose to be a celebrated public figure and a highly respected amateur astronomer.
Black Holes in the Era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy provides a multidisciplinary, up-to-date view of the physics of black holes, along with an exhaustive overview of crucial open questions and recent advancements in the astrophysics of black holes in the wake of incredible advancements made in the last decade.
It was a lucky twist of fate when in the early1980s David Levy, a writer and amateur astronomer, joined up with the famous scientist Eugene Shoemaker and his wife, Carolyn, to search for comets from an observation post on Palomar Mountain in Southern California.
This book is a collection of contributions presented at the 16th annual international symposium "e;Frontiers of Fundamental Physics"e; (FFP16), supported by Istanbul University.
Building from foundations of modern science and cosmic evolution, as well as psychological and philosophical perspectives of value and meaning, this book explores some of humanity's biggest questions: Is the Universe about something ?
A world-renowned physicist seeks gravity's true nature and finds wisdom in embracing its force in her lifeClaudia de Rham has been playing with gravity her entire life.
This book aims to integrate, in a pedagogical and technical manner, with detailed derivations, all essential principles of fundamental theoretical physics as developed over the past 100 years.
