"¿Estamos solos en el universo? ¿Es posible que la Tierra, la vida, sean únicas en el cosmos? ¿Está habitado alguno de los miles de millones de planetas que pueblan el universo? En esta obra, Jean-Pierre Bibring nos advierte de que esta visión está sesgada: ningún argumento sólido nos permite afirmar que lo que llamamos «vida» exista en otro lugar que no sea esta pequeña isla cósmica y errante que es la Tierra. Muy al contrario, desde...

I wrote this book because during my studies of Astronomy at U.C. Berkeley (earning an Sc.D. in the field), most of what was taught involved the discoveries of historical Astronomers; nothing about their private lives. Consequently, you'll learn about the scientists and their backgrounds. The scientists in this book are only a few of the numerous who have made monumental contributions to the fields of astronomy, physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and...

In 1977, NASA launched the space probes Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. This book tells of what was known about those planets and their moons before the Voyager missions, as well as what Voyager discovered about those planets and their moons. This book is written for the middle-grade reader, and can be enjoyed by readers age 12 and up. NASA launched Voyager 1 and 2 in 1977. These flights of exploration greatly...

What do all books about the Anunnakis have in common?The answer doesn't really matter because in this book Shafak GokTurk brings a different perspective on the subject, one that will take you to another dimension of reality in our world.Ever wonder how humankind was able to make such tremendous progress over the last 2,000 years?Why is leadership of the world shifting from East to West in politics, economics, and technology?GokTurk makes significant...

We are all taught in grammar school that the Solar System consists of nine planets (although Pluto's status has changed) and some moons. Maybe the Asteroid Belt is mentioned too.However, this is a drastic simplification of our Solar System. There are at least 218 natural moons in our system. The Asteroid Belts also include an estimated 1.9 million asteroids. In the outer parts of the system there may be more millions of objects in the Kuiper Belt...

These stars are much smaller, cooler and dimmer than Sol (our Sun). In fact, they are only red hot, which is pretty cool for a star. The color of a star depends mainly on the temperature of its outer layers. Because red dwarfs are so dim, even those nearest to us cannot be seen without a telescope.Our neighborhood also includes a few Sol-like stars, some white dwarfs, which are small and hot, and brown dwarfs, small and cold. Brown dwarfs are not...

BP Piscium was initially thought to be a young star, but astronomers later concluded that it actually fitted a small group of old stars, the FK Com-type stars.BP Piscium also is thought to have eaten a large planet or a small companion star.In this article it is argued that BP Piscium is in fact a white dwarf that has not yet thrown off its outer gas layers as a planetary nebula, and that this is also true for the other FK Com-type stars.

A computer simulation of the gravitational field of the universe has been developed that precisely predicts the observed overall redshift due to Doppler and Gravitational components. It applies to both nearby and distant galaxies, and is more accurate than Hubble's Law. It is called the COI universe model. Many other unusual cosmic observations: the KBC void size and density; the Fingers of God effect; the Galactic windup dilemma; and the age of distant...
