  • Titan from Cassini-Huygens

    Edited by Robert Brown, Jean Pierre Lebreton, Hunter Waite ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is one of two volumes meant to capture, to the extent practical, the sci- ti? c legacy of the Cassini–Huygens prime mission, a landmark in the history of pl- etary exploration. As the most ambitious and interdisciplinary planetary exploration mission ? own to date, it has extended our knowledge of the Saturn system to levels of detail at least an order of magnitude beyond that gained ...

  • Enceladus and the Icy Moons of Saturn

    Edited by Paul M. Schenk, Roger N. Clark, Carly J. A. Howett, Anne J. Verbiscer, J. Hunter Waite ...
    Series series The University of Arizona Space Science Series
    With active geysers coating its surface with dazzlingly bright ice crystals, Saturn’s large moon Enceladus is one of the most enigmatic worlds in our solar system. Underlying this activity are numerous further discoveries by the Cassini spacecraft, tantalizing us with evidence that Enceladus harbors a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Enceladus is thus newly realized as a forefront candidate among ... Read more

  • If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

    Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we ... Read more

  • On the Shores of Titan's Farthest Sea

    A Scientific Novel

    by Michael Carroll ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Titan is practically a planet in its own right, with a diameter similar to that of Mercury, methane rainstorms, organic soot and ethane seas. All of the most detailed knowledge on the moon's geology, volcanology, meteorology, marine sciences and chemistry are gathered together here to paint a factually accurate hypothetical future of early human colonization on this strange world.The views from ...

  • Alien Seas

    Oceans in Space

    Edited by Michael Carroll, Rosaly Lopes ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Oceans were long thought to exist in all corners of the Solar System, from carbonated seas percolating beneath the clouds of Venus to features on the Moon's surface given names such as "the Bay of Rainbows” and the "Ocean of Storms." With the advent of modern telescopes and spacecraft exploration these ancient concepts of planetary seas have, for the most part, evaporated. But they have been ... Read more

  • Living Among Giants

    Exploring and Settling the Outer Solar System

    by Michael Carroll ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The outer Solar System is rich in resources and may be the best region in which to search for life beyond Earth. In fact, it may ultimately be the best place for Earthlings to set up permanent abodes. This book surveys the feasibility of that prospect, covering the fascinating history of exploration that kicks off our adventure into the outer Solar System.Although other books provide surveys of ...

  • Australia's Little Space Travellers

    The Flight Shaped Tektites of Australia

    by Don McColl ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides a showcase for the incredibly well-preserved flight-textured tektites of southern Australia, which are the world’s finest known examples. It provides an overview of their forms and flight features, which can be expected to appear, at least in part, on any objects falling from space. Some of these specimens are so perfectly shaped that it is hard to believe that they have been ... Read more

  • Formation, Evolution, and Dynamics of Young Solar Systems

    Edited by Martin Pessah, Oliver Gressel ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book's interdisciplinary scope aims at bridging various communities: 1) cosmochemists, who study meteoritic samples from our own solar system, 2) (sub-) millimetre astronomers, who measure the distribution of dust and gas of star-forming regions and planet-forming discs, 3) disc modellers, who describe the complex photo-chemical structure of parametric discs to fit these to observation, 4) ...

  • Kinetic Theory of the Inner Magnetospheric Plasma

    by George V. Khazanov ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The inner magnetosphere plasma is a very unique composition of different plasma particles and waves. It covers a huge energy plasma range with spatial and time variations of many orders of magnitude. In such a situation, the kinetic approach is the key element, and the starting point of the theoretical description of this plasma phenomena which requires a dedicated book to this particular area of ...
