Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Discover the Moon as you have never seen it before.The Moon - Our Natural Satellite is the fifth volume of the Astronomy Course, a clear, well-structured, and accessible educational guide dedicated to the celestial body closest and most familiar to Earth.This book takes the reader on a complete journey of discovery: from the Moon's violent origin to its internal structure, from lunar phases to eclipses, from tides to surface geology, and from telescopic observation to the great space missions of the past, present, and future.With a rigorous yet simple style, this volume shows that the Moon is not merely the satellite that lights up our nights, but a world in its own right: a geological archive of the Solar System, a natural laboratory of celestial mechanics, and a possible base for the future human exploration of space. The book follows a progressive path, connecting the main lunar phenomena: orbit, rotation, phases, libration, geology, lunar water, regolith, Apollo exploration, Artemis missions, and the Chinese lunar program.Ideal for students, astronomy enthusiasts, teachers, science communicators, and curious readers, this book offers a complete guide to truly understanding our cosmic neighbor.In this volume you will find: - the origin and formation of the Moon;- the Earth-Moon system and its dynamics;- lunar phases, eclipses, libration, perigee, and apogee;- tides and the Moon's influence on Earth;- landscapes, craters, maria, mountains, and lunar geology;- water, regolith, and the physical environment of the surface;- tips for observing the Moon from Earth;- the history of lunar exploration;- the future of the Moon with Artemis and the Chinese Chang'e program.A rich yet introductory manual, designed to transform the Moon from a simple presence in the sky into a world to be known, observed, and understood.The Moon is close, but far from simple. This book helps you look at it with new eyes.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Asteroid Belt is the seventh volume of the Astronomy Course, dedicated to the small worlds orbiting between Mars and Jupiter: asteroids, dwarf planets, rocky fragments, metallic bodies, and ancient remnants of the Solar System's formation. Using clear, informative, and educational language, the book guides the reader through the main asteroid belt, explaining why it is not a dense barrier of rocks as often depicted in films, but rather a vast, rarefied region rich in scientific information. The volume explores the belt's origin, Jupiter's crucial role, the composition of asteroids, the differences between carbonaceous, silicate, and metallic bodies, and why this region is considered a true natural laboratory for understanding the birth of the planets. Ample space is devoted to Ceres, the largest body in the main belt and the only dwarf planet in the inner Solar System, with its ices, salts, craters, bright deposits, and potential cryovolcanism. The text also explores Vesta, Pallas, Hygieia, meteorites, near-Earth objects, the risk of impacts, and modern space missions such as Dawn, DART, Hera, Hayabusa2, OSIRIS-REx, and Psyche. Intended for students, enthusiasts, and those curious about the sky, this book combines astronomy, planetary geology, orbital physics, space exploration, and planetary defense. Each chapter helps build a more accurate and fascinating view of the small bodies of the Solar System, showing how even an asteroid can tell a story spanning billions of years. A journey between Mars and Jupiter to discover that the asteroid belt is more than just a collection of rocks, but a cosmic archive of the birth of our Solar System. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Mars - An Educational Astronomy Book is a complete and accessible journey of discovery into the Red Planet, designed for students, astronomy enthusiasts, science communicators, and anyone curious about space. From its origin in the Solar System to its internal structure, from its cratered surface to the giant volcanoes of Tharsis, from Valles Marineris to the polar ice caps, this volume guides readers through the geological, climatic, and scientific history of Mars. The book also explores key topics such as the presence of water in the past, the moons Phobos and Deimos, robotic exploration, the search for possible traces of life, planetary protection, and the future of human exploration. With an informative yet rigorous style, the text combines clear explanations, educational images, comparative fact sheets, timelines, a glossary, and scientific references, offering an organized and engaging overview of the Martian world. Mars is presented not only as a planet close to Earth, but also as a natural laboratory for understanding the evolution of rocky planets, the loss of atmosphere, the role of water, and the conditions necessary for habitability. An ideal book for anyone who wants to learn about Mars in a complete, visual, and scientifically grounded way: from the ancient past of the Red Planet to future human missions.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Solar System is the first volume in the Astronomy Course series and takes the reader on a clear, engaging, and rigorous journey through the discovery of our planetary system. Developed as an expansion of Lesson 01, the book presents in narrative form the fundamental themes of Solar System astronomy: its origin, the orbits, the Sun, the major planets, minor bodies, habitability, and its place within the Milky Way.Designed for flexible educational study, the volume does more than simply present facts and spectacular images: it helps readers understand the connections among phenomena, data, and scientific models. Each chapter guides the reader from the intuitive level of the illustrations to the reasoned level of explanation, with final summaries, guiding questions, graphs, comparative tables, and useful tools for review and further study.The journey unfolds through 20 chapters devoted to the structure of the Solar System, the formation of the planets, Kepler's laws, the rocky and giant planets, satellites, atmospheres, asteroids, comets, and comparisons with exoplanets, enriched by appendices including a glossary, an essential timeline, review questions, and conceptual tools.An ideal book for students, teachers, enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the sky, who wish to go beyond a simple description of the planets and read the Solar System as a true cosmic story, shaped by origin, evolution, and the deep connections among its protagonists.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Mercury and Venus: Astronomy Manual is a detailed scientific guide to the two innermost planets of the Solar System, two rocky worlds that appear similar at first glance but reveal radically different planetary destinies.This volume explores the origin, structure, geology, atmosphere, and exploration history of Mercury and Venus, showing how these neighboring planets became two extreme examples of terrestrial evolution. Mercury is small, dense, metal-rich, almost airless, and exposed directly to the solar wind. Venus, by contrast, is nearly Earth-sized but hidden beneath a crushing carbon dioxide atmosphere, sulfuric acid clouds, and the most intense greenhouse effect in the Solar System.Through clear explanations and comparative analysis, the book examines Mercury's enormous metallic core, cratered surface, polar ice, magnetic field, and interaction with the Sun. It also investigates Venus's volcanic plains, dense atmosphere, extreme surface conditions, slow retrograde rotation, and importance as Earth's divergent twin.The manual also covers the history of observation and space exploration, from planetary phases and transits to missions such as Mariner, Venera, MESSENGER, Venus Express, and BepiColombo.Designed for astronomy enthusiasts, students, science readers, and anyone interested in planetary science, this book offers a complete introduction to Mercury and Venus and explains why these two planets are essential for understanding Earth, rocky planets, and the worlds discovered around other stars.Inside this book, you will discover: - How Mercury and Venus formed in the inner Solar System- Why Mercury has such a large metallic core- How Venus became hotter than Mercury despite being farther from the Sun- The role of atmospheres, magnetic fields, volcanism, and solar radiation- The phases, elongations, and rare transits of the inner planets- What space missions have revealed about these extreme worlds- Why Mercury and Venus are crucial for understanding exoplanets and Earth's futureMercury and Venus are not simply the first two planets from the Sun: they are two natural laboratories that reveal how rocky worlds can evolve in dramatically different ways. …
