Star Clusters Authors: Cardona III Charles A. Star clusters are some of the most beautiful objects in the night sky and are prime targets for observational astronomers as well as astrophotographers. Using some of the newer technologies and larger and more powerful telescopes available today to amateur astronomers many more of these dazzling groupings of […]
The Radio Sky and How to Observe It Authors: Lashley Jeff We have learned a great deal about our universe not only by looking at the sky through optical telescopes but also by listening to it! Although in the past most of the great discoveries have been made by professional radio astronomers using large radio […]
New Quests in stellar astrophysics II Editors: Chavez Dagostino M. Bertone E. Rosa Gonzalez D. Rodriguez-Merino L.H. (Eds.) This driveway has derived in a renewed interest on the stars that presumably dominate or have important effects on the integrated UV properties of evolved systems of the nearby and faraway Universe. The topics included in this […]
Starlight Authors: Robinson Keith There are so many questions and in this engaging and informative book by Keith Robinson which serves as a companion to his very popular earlier book called Spectroscopy the Key to the Stars you will learn the basics of stellar physics and the answers to many of these questions as well […]
Mysteries of galaxy-formation Authors: COMBES Francoise The mystery of how the galaxies formed is a complex and intriguing subject involving several different theories and an understanding of many different phenomena. Françoise Combes outlines the context in which the Big Bang and the expansion of the universe occurred and the first inhomogeneities from which arose the […]
A Spectroscopic Atlas of Bright Stars Authors: Martin Jack Den här behändiga användarvänliga fältatlasen i fickformat som har undersökts noggrant med data sammanställda under många år av författaren (en amatörastronom i 45 år) innehåller spektra (spektraldiagram) för över 73 ljusstarka stjärnor på norra halvklotet och är avsedd att användas av andra amatörer studenter och utbildningsinstitutioner […]

Galaxy Collisions – Forging New Worlds from Cosmic Crashes Authors: Struck Curtis Galaxy collisions are the key process in building galaxies triggering the formation of stars and the build-up of heavy elements that allow the formation of planets and solar systems. This book presents the revolutionary research advances achieved in the last decade and lucidly […]
Cosmic Collisions Authors: Christensen Lars Lindberg de Martin Davide Shida Raquel Yumi Like majestic ships in the grandest night galaxies can slip ever closer until their mutual gravitational interaction begins to mold them into intricate figures that are finally and irreversibly woven together. It is an immense cosmic dance choreographed by gravity. Cosmic Collisions contains […]
Astronomical Cybersketching Authors: Grego Peter What is cybersketching? It is using a small computer such as a laptop or a PDA to make a sketch of what you see through your telescope or even with your naked eye. Particularly good subjects are the Moon and the brighter planets but even deep space has much to […]
The Tunguska Mystery Authors: Rubtsov Vladimir Editors: Ashpole Edward (Ed.) The purpose of the book is a dual one: to detail the nature and results of Tunguska investigations in the former USSR and present-day CIS and to destroy two long-standing myths still held in the West. The first concerns alleged final solutions that have ostensibly […]
The Science and Art of Using Telescopes Authors: Pugh Philip On Earth tethers or ropes or lines are used primarily to bind things to each other. In Space tethers can also be used to attach spacecraft to each other but this technology involves much more than simply tying things together. Ropes can also be used […]
The far side of the moon Authors: Byrne Charles The photographs show each part of the far side in the most favorable resolution and sun angle. There are many high-altitude oblique photos that provide a feeling of being in space this book is more like a photographic tour of the far side than an atlas. […]
Spectroscopy: The Key to the Stars av Keith Robinson Any amateur astronomer who carries out observational spectroscopy and who wants a non-technical account of the physical processes which determine the intensity and profile morphology of lines in stellar spectra will find this is the only book written specially for them. It is an ideal companion […]
