PDF-(BOOK)-Astroquizzical: Solving the Cosmic Puzzles of Our Planets, Stars, and Galaxies:

Exploring the family tree of the cosmos from humans on Earth to stars and galaxies to the first atoms of the Big Bang with striking color illustrationsLooking up at the night sky we see not only stars twinkling in their constellations and planets caught midorbit but our cosmic family tree We are here on Earth because billions of years ago the Big Bang created the atoms that over unimaginable periods of time formed the stars and galaxies Generations of stars that burned exploded or collided long before our planet was formed created the carbon of our bodies and the iron in our blood In Astroquizzical astrophysicist Jillian Scudder takes readers on a curiositydriven journey through outer space traveling back in time from Earth to the stars and galaxies to the cosmic explosions of the Big BangScudder proceedsastroquizzicallyquestion by question answering and explaining such queries as What color is the universe Do all planets spin the same way and How many galaxies are there Along the way she proposes a series of thought experiments including What would happen if we split the sun in half and What happens to time dilation at the speed of light She covers meteors the aurora and the Moon Earths cosmic companion Jupiters stripes and Plutos mountains red dwarfs brown dwarfs and white dwarfs the deaths of stars and the abundance of galaxies and much more Striking color images illustrate astrophysical marvels.

Using the power of the sun, moon, stars, and planets, this unique, illustrated guide is filled with engaging exercises that deepen your knowledge of the solar system, help you take necessary pauses every day, and foster a renewed sense of presence in the universe.Thousands of years ago, when we humans lived together in communal caves, we told stories about the stars. When we later took to the seas, we used stellar positions to navigate and pinpoint our place in the world. When we eventually stopped migrating and settled on land, we relied on the constellations and the Sun to plant and sustain crops. Yet today, we modern humans have lost this deep connection to the cosmos that was once central to our daily lives.Astronomical Mindfulness helps us reconnect to the solar system once more, guiding us through the fundamental ways in which our planet moves through the solar system and how these motions determine our perception of time and place. Offering a concise yet in-depth look at the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars, it teaches us to observe and understand the elements comprising the celestial sphere--deepening our lives and helping us become more informed, engaged, and mindful every day.The best part: you don\'t need to climb a mountain, visit an observatory, or even own a telescope. From an apartment rooftop to a city park, from your backyard to the window by your desk, the skies are accessible to everyone. Astronomical Mindfulness is a unique tool for personal growth essential to coping in our modern world, enabling us to be more present, more connected, and more relaxed simply by looking up toward the stars. Have Fun Exploring the Stars with Close-up Views of Space Objects Right from Your Own BackyardIt doesn’t take an astronomy degree to feel like an astronaut and explore space with a small telescope. See It with a Small Telescope takes the mystery and struggle out of exploring the unknown and discovering new worlds! With hands-on tips and tricks, this book offers a complete guide to unleashing the full power of a small telescope and going beyond the basics.Without technical jargon and complicated star charts, this book offers step-by-step instructions and easy-to-use illustrations for finding over 100 celestial objects in the night’s sky, including:Saturn’s RingsJupiter’s MoonsOrion Nebula Andromeda GalaxyPolaris Double StarPegasus Globular ClusterApollo 11 Site...and more!
