This book discusses how the increased emanation of radon and other gases from the Earth's crust in the vicinity of active tectonic faults triggers a chain of physical processes and chemical reactions in the atmospheric boundary layer and the Earth's ionosphere over an earthquake area several days/hours before strong seismic shocks occur.
This is the comprehensive story of NASA's pioneering Mars 2020 mission, which at this moment continues to break ground on the surface of the Red Planet.
Powerful solar explosions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, greatly disturb the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and the atmosphere.
Black holes, once just fascinating theoretical predictions of how gravity warps space-time according to Einstein's theory, are now generally accepted as astrophysical realities, formed by post-supernova collapse, or as supermassive black holes mysteriously found at the cores of most galaxies, powering active galactic nuclei, the most powerful objects in the universe.
