A text for a nonmajor introductory course, serving as an introduction to astronomy and to science in general. Treatment moves from the solar system to stars to galaxies, with a final chapter on cosmology. Includes margin notes and definitions, review quizes, discussion questions, calculation exercises, activities, and questions keyed to the publisher's Web site. Optional mathematical exercises are interspersed through the text, with worked examples and answers. Boxed readings discuss topics of interest such as the search for extraterrestrial life, and present personal accounts of astronomers. This second edition includes color photos from the Hubble Space Telescope and incorporates the latest research in the field. There is expanded discussion of the Hubble device, findings from recent missions, and interstellar matter and star formation. This edition has a larger page size, allowing for enlarged color photos and illustrations, and color cues located at the first reference in the text to each figure. Figures are placed on the same page as accompanying material. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Soviet Robots in the Solar System provides a history of the Soviet robotic lunar and planetary exploration program from its inception, with the attempted launch of a lunar impactor on September 23, 1958, to the last launch in the Russian national scientific space program in the 20th Century, Mars 96, on November 16, 1996. This title makes a unique contribution to understanding the scientific and engineering accomplishments of the Soviet Union’s robotic space exploration enterprise from its infancy to its demise with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The authors provide a comprehensive account of Soviet robotic exploration of the Solar System for both popular space enthusiasts and professionals in the field. Technical details and science results are provided and put into an historical and political perspective in a single volume for the first time. The book is divided into two parts. Part I describes the key players and the key institutions that build and operate the hardware, the rockets that provide access to space, and the spacecraft that carry out the enterprise. Part II is about putting these pieces together to enable space flight and mission campaigns. Part II is written in chronological order beginning with the first launches to the Moon. Each chapter covers a particular period when specific mission campaigns were undertaken during celestially-determined launch windows. Each chapter begins with a short overview of the flight missions that occurred during the time period and the political and historical context for the flight mission campaigns, including what the Americans were doing at the time. The bulk of each chapter is devoted to the scientific and engineering details of that flight campaign. The spacecraft and payloads are examined with as much technical detail as is available today, the progress is described, and a synopsis of the scientific result is given.

In recent years, planetary science has seen a tremendous growth in new knowledge. Deposits of water ice exist at the Moon's poles. Discoveries on the surface of Mars point to an early warm wet climate, and perhaps conditions under which life could have emerged. Liquid methane rain falls on Saturn's moon Titan, creating rivers, lakes, and geologic landscapes with uncanny resemblances to Earth's. Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 surveys the current state of knowledge of the solar system and recommends a suite of planetary science flagship missions for the decade 2013-2022 that could provide a steady stream of important new discoveries about the solar system. Research priorities defined in the report were selected through a rigorous review that included input from five expert panels. NASA's highest priority large mission should be the Mars Astrobiology Explorer Cacher (MAX-C), a mission to Mars that could help determine whether the planet ever supported life and could also help answer questions about its geologic and climatic history. Other projects should include a mission to Jupiter's icy moon Europa and its subsurface ocean, and the Uranus Orbiter and Probe mission to investigate that planet's interior structure, atmosphere, and composition. For medium-size missions, Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 recommends that NASA select two new missions to be included in its New Frontiers program, which explores the solar system with frequent, mid-size spacecraft missions. If NASA cannot stay within budget for any of these proposed flagship projects, it should focus on smaller, less expensive missions first. Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 suggests that the National Science Foundation expand its funding for existing laboratories and establish new facilities as needed. It also recommends that the program enlist the participation of international partners. This report is a vital resource for government agencies supporting space science, the planetary science community, and the public.

Dear Reader, This book is an invitation to explore the unknown secrets of the Solar System, unravel the mysteries of captivating planets, and embark on a magical journey into the depths of the universe. The Solar System is akin to precious jewels in the vastness of space, where each planet, moon, and extraordinary phenomenon harbors a unique tale that captivates the human mind. Throughout history, planets have enthralled humanity and occupied the center stage of scientific inquiry. From ancient civilizations to modern science, astronomers have been mesmerized by the celestial dance of planets and their intricate nature. However, the information age and technological advancements have allowed us to take great strides in unraveling the secrets of the Solar System. This book aims to take readers on a profound journey into each planet of the Solar System, delving deep into their unique characteristics. From Mercury to Pluto, from Jupiter's Great Red Spot to Venus' greenhouse effect, from Saturn's rings to Mars' surface, you will embark on a knowledge-filled expedition of discovery. But this book does not only push the boundaries of the Solar System. We will journey into the depths of the universe, exploring the mystical realm of exoplanets, venturing beyond the realms of planets, and deciphering the enigma of interstellar objects. This book is not just a guide filled with facts; it reflects the significance of human curiosity and the spirit of exploration. Each discovery propels us deeper, urging us to ask new questions, and reminding us that the universe's wonders are far from being fully understood. In this journey, we will not only explore the limits of the Solar System but also explore the mysteries of the universe. Delving into exoplanets, we will unveil distant worlds beyond our grasp, and unravel the mysteries of interstellar phenomena. This book is not just an adventure into the cosmos; it is an ode to the human spirit of curiosity and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Each discovery, big or small, feeds our hunger for understanding, driving us to embrace the mysteries that lie ahead. As we venture forth, this book invites future generations of scientists, astronomers, and planetary explorers to partake in the wondrous journey. Welcome to the quest of unveiling the mysteries of the Solar System and the universe! Warm regards,
