En cómo descubrir el firmamento con prismáticos Patrick Moore nos cuenta cómo con la ayuda de unos prismáticos es posible conocer el espacio y entender un poco mejor el cosmos

La Astronomía sigue siendo una de las pocas ciencias donde los aficionados pueden jugar un papel útil e incluso hacer descubrimientos importantes. Si el lector desea informarse sobre la materia y no sabe por donde empezar, este libro ofrece:? Una explicacion clara sobre los hechos basicos relacionados con la Astronomia.? Una muestra de lo que puede observarse a simple vista, asi como todo aquello que podemos ver en el firmamento con la ayuda de un equipo asequible y de facil utilizacion.? Diversos capitulos que tratan del Sol, la Luna, los planetas y otros cuerpos celestes, tales como los cometas, meteoritos y asteroides, asi como la manera de observarlos.? Instrucciones para realizar de forma sencilla fotografias astronomicas.? Una introduccion a la Cosmologia.Contiene un gran numero de interesantes ilustraciones, algunas de ellas a todo color, que clarifican y ayudan a la comprension de todos los conceptos.

Catalogue of the exhibition taking place at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza from 21 October to 25 January 2026. Traditionally, art history has presented Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, and therefore each of their best-known representatives, as opposite poles belonging to two different eras and styles: abstraction and figurative art.

Au début des années 1970, après des études de chimie et un doctorat, Patrick Moore s’engage avec quelques amis activistes dans la lutte contre les essais atmosphériques de la bombe H américaine. Equi

Can You Play Cricket on Mars? answers questions like: is there a dark side to the Moon? What happens when a comet hits the Sun? Do the Martian canals have any water in them? Is the Moon hot inside? What would happen if the Sun were to collide with a black hole? Mars has polar ice caps: could polar bears live there? If I could go back to the time of the dinosaurs, would the sky look the same as it does today? and many more.

Some patterns are meant to stay hidden.For three years, Border Patrol Agent Ray Mendez has been obsessively tracking the strange geometric patterns that appear in the desertthe same mysterious anomalies his wife Maria was researching before she vanished without a trace. Everyone thinks hes chasing ghosts, but Ray knows these patterns hold the key to finding her.When a mysterious woman named Cass emerges from the desert with circuitry glowing beneath her skin, claiming to be from the year 2075, Rays search takes a dangerous turn. She brings an impossible message: Maria is alive, fifty years in the future, fighting against an artificial intelligence called NEXUS that has enslaved humanity.As government forces close in, Ray must protect his mathematically gifted daughter Lucia, whose unique ability to perceive quantum patterns makes her the target of both sides. With time running out, they race to build a temporal disruptor that could prevent NEXUS from ever gaining control.In a desperate battle that spans two timelines, Ray must choose between reuniting with his wife or protecting his daughterand the future of humanity hangs in the balance.

An adventure in scientific discovery Pluto, the farthermost planet in the solar system, some 3,673 million mites from the Sun, was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in 1930. The fiftieth anniversary of Plutos discovery will be celebrated in 1980 and OUT OF THE DARKNESS: THE PLANET PLUTO tells the exciting scientific story of the twenty-five year search for a planet X beyond Neptune, and its discovery-the only planet found in the twentieth century. The planets Mercury, Venus. Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were all known since antiquity. Then Sir William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, and 65 years later, in 1846, Johann Calle and Urbain le Verner discovered Neptune. Variations in orbital perturbations of the planets and theoretical astronomy were responsible for predicting and discovering the three outermost planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) and so Plutos story is also, to some extent, the story of its planetary neighbors. What kind of world is Pluto? Much is still a mystery (its exact size, for instance), but there are some facts. It takes 247.7 years for Pluto to revolve around the sun. From Plutos surface, the Sun appears as a star-like point; giving only on-one-hundredth the light Earth receives, although it is still brighter than a full Moon. There is strong evidence to suggest that Pluto is an escaped satellite of Neptune, a sister moon of Triton that wandered off to become the farthermost planet revolving around the Sun. And the recent discovery of Plutos moon, Charon, and the speculation on a tenth planet beyond Pluto add to the mystery that still prevails 50 years after coauthor Clyde Tombaugh exclaimed Thats it! when he saw the change of position of a faint object on the photographic plates after examining millions of star images. That evening, the only man alive to discover a planet, went to the movies and saw Gary Cooper in The Virginian. The night sky was cloudy when he came out of the theatre, but his minds eye still saw the faint image of Pluto.
