Did you know that humans have only been able to study five percent of the universe? The other 95 percent of our universe is invisible! There are several parts of the universe that we haven't seen yet, as light from there hasn't reached us yet! If the mechanisms of space pique your interest, you have come to the right place.

Space has captivated mankind since the beginning of time. Fifty years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the moon, and since then our knowledge of astronomy has continued to expand. With so many mysteries yet to be solved, science journalist Abigail Beall takes readers on an astonishing journey though the landscape of space.

The Short Story of the Universe is a new introduction to the subject of the universe. Covering 130 key components that make it up - from dwarf galaxies and spiral arms to red giants and the planets of the solar system - and linking these to the universe's structure and the theories that help us understand it, this book simplifies this riveting yet mind-boggling subject, telling the story of how it came into being and how it will eventually be no more.

Not long ago, the Solar System was the only example of a planetary system - a star and the bodies orbiting it - that we knew. Now, we know thousands of planetary systems, and have even been able to observe planetary systems at the moment of their birth.

Looking up at the night sky fills a person with wonder, knowing there is so much unknown out there! Admiring the universe can put things in perspective – if only we could capture that feeling. Tonight, you can! The first ever photo was taken in 1826 and at the end of the following decade, the moon was captured. But it wasn’t until the late 19th century that technology advanced to the point where details of stars could be seen, and only really the last 20 years that software has taken this to a new level.

Pourquoi y a-t-il des atomes, des planètes et des humains plutôt que rien ? Comment pouvons-nous aimer, créer, croire, agir, penser... alors que notre cerveau est le fruit des lois déterministes de la physique ? La conscience est-elle apparue par la seule grâce du hasard ? Et si les étoiles sont appelées à terme à se consumer, les galaxies à se disperser et les trous noirs à s'évaporer comme l'a prédit Stephen Hawking, quel sens donner à notre existence ?

How did life begin on Earth? Does it exist elsewhere? What would those life forms be like? These fundamental questions about the nature of life and our own cosmic significance are endlessly fascinating. In this book, we present several theories on the origin of life, some of its extreme and surprising forms, and the ongoing search for signs - or sentience - on distant worlds.

The Sky Is for Everyone is an internationally diverse collection of autobiographical narratives by women who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. This audiobook vividly describes how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of women astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century. Here are the stories of the tough and determined women who flung the doors wide open.

Humans have always been fascinated by the possibility of extraterrestrial life, often wondering if we are alone in the universe. Drawing on nearly fifty years as a leader in planetary exploration, Louis Friedman brings into focus the subject of extraterrestrial life, separating knowledge from conjecture, fact from fiction, to draw scientific and technical conclusions that answer this enduring question. Friedman argues that intelligent life is probably rare in the universe but that simple life is likely abundant on millions or billions of planets waiting now to be discovered.

What can they teach us about ourselves and our place in the universe? If you are curious about these questions, then Exoplanet Radio is for you. We will explore the fascinating field of exoplanets, the planets that orbit other stars. We will learn about the history and methods of exoplanet discovery, the diversity and characteristics of exoplanets, the challenges and opportunities of exoplanet science, and the implications and prospects of exoplanet life. ...

The violent birth of the universe was only the first bang of a very bumpy ride. This unfathomably cacophonous beginning has spawned blasts, implosions, cosmic cannibalism, collisions, and countless other fleeting energetic events punctuating the cosmos. Although often brief, these transient phenomena pack a powerful punch. Astronomer and science writer C. Renee James introduces us to her colleagues around the world, who are using pioneering research techniques to explore everything from the very first explosions in the universe to the dark energy that could destroy it all.

NASA has plans to land on the Moon again in 2024 and then build a Moon base following that. What is the history of plans to build a base on the Moon and what are all the issues involved? Where should the base be built and what will be do once we have long term habitation on the Moon? There are lots of ideas and lots of issues to consider. My hope is that the reader will learn about all of the issues important to building a Moon Base to better understand what will be required. You might even want to become a Moon Base resident!

The Black Hole is a new podcast that will venture into the minds and hearts of the masses via two thought experts: Sancho D. Bayleaf and Doggie Boy J. Listen as the Bayleaf and the Boy outthink so called “Scientist” and “Doctors” by digging the sediment out of the woolly grundle of life and death and life again (The afterlife) and put it under a microscope and project the findings on a jumbotron (metaphorically). Hear the bigger picture and absorb every facet of yours and you neighbor’s mind.
