This is the unique story of observing a total solar eclipse for no less than 74 consecutive minutes On the summer morning of June 30 1973 the Sun rises on the Canary Islands But it is strangely indented by the Moon The eclipse of the century has just begun From the west the lunar shadow rushes to the African coast at a velocity of over 2000 kilometers per hour Astronomers on the ground will enjoy seven short minutes of total eclipse to study the solar corona too short for Pierre Lena and seven scientists who board the Concorde 001 prototype an extraordinary plane to become the first commercial supersonic aircraft With Andre Turcat as chief pilot and a crew of five at 17000 m altitude the aircraft remains in the lunar shadow for 74 minutes a record time of scientific observations not yetbeaten and allowing for exceptional measurements Science technology aviation and history combine in the story of a unique human adventure aboard a legendary aircraft illustrated with a rich and original iconography It reflects the wonderful domains that science and technology can open and the passion in the professions they offer A must read for every eclipse chaser and fan of true scientific adventuresOn the summer morning of June 30 1973 the Sun rises on the Canary Islands But it is strangely indented by the Moon The eclipse of the century has just begun From the west the lunar shadow rushes to the African coast at a velocity of over 2000 kilometers per hour Astronomers on the ground will enjoy seven short minutes of total eclipse to study the solar corona too short for Pierre Lena and seven scientists who board the Concorde 001 prototype an extraordinary plane to become the first commercial supersonic aircraft With Andre Turcat as chief pilot and a crew of five at 17000 m altitude the aircraft remains in the lunar shadow for 74 minutes a record time of scientific observations not yetbeaten and allowing for exceptional measurements Science technology aviation and history combine in the story of a unique human adventure aboard a legendary aircraft illustrated with a rich and original iconography It reflects the wonderful domains that science and technology can open and the passion in the professions they offer A must read for every eclipse chaser and fan of true scientific adventures. This is called an orbit The same side of the Moon always faces the Earth It takes one month for the Moon to go around the Earth The Moon is a little more than 200000 miles from the Earth It is about the size of the Earth That means the Earth is fou Astronomy: The original Science. Imagine that it’s 5,000 years ago, and you are alive….. Clocks and modern calendars have not yet been invented…. How would you know what time it is????. How would you know that your birthday is just a week away???.

When you look into the hazy band of light across the sky, you are actually looking at our galaxy from the inside. While an awesome sight, you can only truly begin to see it if you get away from city lights on a moonless night. . The stars and other objects in space are very far from Earth. Only a few solar system objects are close enough to be explored with probes. . Astronomers rely on electromagnetic waves to gain information about the universe.. OUR PLACE IN SPACE. Earth is not special. We do not have any unique place in the Universe. We live on an ordinary rocky planet called Earth, one of nine known planets orbiting an average star called Sun. We are near the edge of a huge collection of stars called the Milky Way Galaxy, which is one galaxy among countless billions of other galaxies spread throughout the observable universe..

Space tourism is fast becoming a reality. Ordinary people around the world are starting to wonder if they could really go to space and what it would be like - among them, many amateur astronomers. Here, the author explains the basics of what is involved in getting into space, from building the rocket and choosing where to go, to planning the mission and getting home again. The beauty of this text, written by an engineer who is also an accomplished science writer, is that it covers the subject comprehensively, and yet is almost entirely descriptive and non-mathematical. It deals with all aspects of space flight, from how to leave the Earth (including the design of the rocket, mission planning, navigation and communication), to life in space and the effects of weightlessness. The book also includes sections describing how an amateur can track satellites and understand their orbital parameters, and on the future of space flight, touching on what is and what is not possible given the present and predicted propulsion technologies. This is the unique story of observing a total solar eclipse for no less than 74 consecutive minutes. On the summer morning of June 30, 1973, the Sun rises on the Canary Islands. But it is strangely indented by the Moon. The eclipse of the century has just begun. From the west, the lunar shadow rushes to the African coast at a velocity of over 2000 kilometers per hour. Astronomers on the ground will enjoy seven short minutes of total eclipse to study the solar corona - too short for Pierre Lena and seven scientists who board the Concorde 001 prototype, an extraordinary plane to become the first commercial supersonic aircraft. With Andre Turcat as chief pilot and a crew of five, at 17000 m altitude, the aircraft remains in the lunar shadow for 74 minutes, a record time of scientific observations not yetbeaten and allowing for exceptional measurements. Science, technology, aviation and history combine in the story of a unique human adventure aboard a legendary aircraft, illustrated with a rich and original iconography. It reflects the wonderful domains that science and technology can open, and the passion in the professions they offer. A must read for every eclipse chaser and fan of true scientific adventures.On the summer morning of June 30, 1973, the Sun rises on the Canary Islands. But it is strangely indented by the Moon.

Einstein’s Shadow follows a team of elite scientists on their historic mission to take the first picture of a black hole, putting Einstein’s theory of relativity to its ultimate test and helping to answer our deepest questions about space, time, the origins of the universe, and the nature of realityPhotographing a black hole sounds impossible, a contradiction in terms. But Shep Doeleman and a global coalition of scientists are on the cusp of doing just that.With exclusive access to the team, journalist Seth Fletcher spent five years following Shep and an extraordinary cast of characters as they assembled the Event Horizon Telescope, a virtual radio observatory the size of the Earth. He witnessed their struggles, setbacks, and breakthroughs, and along the way, he explored the latest thinking on the most profound questions about black holes. Do they represent a limit to our ability to understand reality? Or will they reveal the clues that lead to the long-sought Theory of Everything?Fletcher transforms astrophysics into something exciting, accessible, and immediate, taking us on an incredible adventure to better understand the complexity of our galaxy, the boundaries of human perception and knowledge, and how the messy human endeavor of science really works.Weaving a compelling narrative account of human ingenuity with excursions into cutting-edge science, Einstein’s Shadow is a tale of great minds on a mission to change the way we understand our universe—and our place in it.
