Owing to the increased accuracy requirements in fields such as astrometry and geodesy the general theory of relativity must be taken into account for any mission requiring highly accurate orbit information and for practically all observation and measurement techniques. This book…
Der Vorgang von Projektion und Reflexion soziomorpher Modelle (E. Topisch) bestimmt die Systematik dieser astrologiehistorischen Studie: Welches irdische Vorbild von Doryphorie ("Speertragung") wird an den Himmel projiziert? Welche Himmelserscheinungen werden als Doryphorie beze…
This book offers an exercise in theoretical planetology, presenting five different scenarios to assess the evolution of habitable conditions on Mars to assess planetary terraforming potential and to give insight into the ongoing search for habitable exoplanets. Four of the scena…
This book focuses on the robustness analysis of high accuracy surface modeling method (HASM) to yield good performance of it. Understanding the sensitivity and uncertainty is important in model applications. The book aims to advance an integral framework for assessing model erro…
Review text: "This is a truly rewarding, immensely erudite edition that will, one hopes, have a lasting impact not only on Manilian studies, but also on the studies of late Augustan or early imperial poetry in general."Joanna Komorowska in: BMCR 2011.08.05.
Over Uranus, met o.a. de ontdekking van een donkere vlek op Uranus, de duistere manen en de ringen van Uranus.
Informatie in woord en beeld over de planeet Mars.
From the beginning of the Space Age the United States, followed soon by other nations, began an impressive effort to learn about the planets of the solar system. The data collected and analyzed by scientists has revolutionized understanding of our neighbors. These efforts also c…
This SpringerBrief explores the technological, economic, physiological, and psychological comparisons between a journey to the Moon versus a journey to Mars, taking into consideration the national and international perspectives at play. The author spent over six years interviewi…
The sun's family of planets become a familiar place in this personal account of the lives of other worlds. With her gift for weaving difficult scientific concepts into a compelling story, Sobel explores the planets' origins and oddities through the lens of popular culture, from …
ASTRONOMERS' OBSERVING GUIDES provide up-to-date information for amateur astronomers who want to know all about what it is they are observing. This is the basis of the first part of the book. The second part details observing techniques for practical astronomers, working with a …
