On April 8, 2024, one of nature's rarest and most spectacular events will take place–a total solar eclipse. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty and celestial wonder of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.

In this special thematic anthology, we traverse the solar system, the galaxies and the multiverse, voyaging across space to explore 25 celestial objects and phenomena. Included are programmes on the universe, the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets - among them our near neighbours, Venus and Mars. Also featured are discussions on comets, asteroids and black holes, as well as eclipses, exoplanets and the mysterious, invisible substance known as 'dark matter'.

Unearth the hidden past of Earth and its intricate connection with our galaxy's undisclosed history in this engaging new volume. Presenting a unique blend of scientific evidence, philosophical thought, and spiritual insight, this book unifies these seemingly disparate realms into a coherent narrative. Delve into the profound origins of our species and our celestial lineage, linked to infinite worlds, alternate dimensions, and numerous universes.

Let us journey, with beloved physicist Carlo Rovelli, into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold, we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually, we'll pass it: the remains of a star, deep and dense and falling further far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end, and the white hole is born.

For as long as humans have lived, we have lived beneath the stars. But under the glow of today’s artificial lighting, we have lost the intimacy our ancestors once shared with the cosmos. In Starborn, cosmologist Roberto Trotta reveals how stargazing has shaped the course of human civilization. The stars have served as our timekeepers, our navigators, our muses—they were once even our gods. How radically different would we be, Trotta also asks, if our ancestors had looked up to the night sky and seen… nothing?

In the vast expanse of the universe, where the night sky reveals countless stars, planets, and galaxies, the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. Among the many tools at the disposal of astronomers and astrophysicists, photometry stands as a beacon of precision and insight. This book, Photometry: Science, Sensitivity, and Its Connection to Astronomy, is your guided journey into the fascinating world of measuring and interpreting light in the cosmos.

O tempo não é um conceito abstrato. É uma substância material que ocupa todo o universo e se deforma, vibra, oscila. De Newton a Einstein, de Planck ao relógio cósmico, foi protagonista de metamorfoses vertiginosas, fascinantes e monstruosas. O tempo flui? Ou está parado? E como é medido? Como a gravidade o retarda? E como os buracos negros conseguem pará-lo? Sempre vivemos no tempo, que, no entanto, não é eterno.

Qual è il futuro dell’uomo nell’universo? Siamo soli nel cosmo? Esistono altre Terre che l’umanità può colonizzare? Queste sono solo alcune delle domande a cui Giovanni Covone, professore di astrofisica, cerca di dare risposta puntando lo sguardo in alto, verso il cielo e le stelle. Perché la storia della ricerca astronomica è antica quanto l’uomo stesso, dai primi, rudimentali eppure brillanti tentativi di studiare le stelle a occhio nudo, fino alle ultime missioni spaziali, svolte con l’ausilio di enormi, modernissimi telescopi.

Vorwärts in die Vergangenheit. Weiße Löcher sind das Gegenteil von Schwarzen Löchern – sie sind vermutlich ihre Abkömmlinge. Die einen ziehen alle Materie unwiderstehlich in sich hinein, die anderen geben ihre Information wieder frei. Sie sind ein weiteres großes Rätsel der Kosmologie, und noch gibt es keinen Beweis ihrer Existenz. Einsteins Gleichungen lassen sie aber vermuten, und mit Carlo Rovellis Quantentheorie sind Weiße Löcher theoretisch darstellbar.

The BBC presenter of 'Sky at Night', and Gresham Professor of Astronomy, Chris Lintott, takes us on an astonishing tour of bizarre accidents, big characters, and human error to tell the story of some of the most important astronomical events of the past hundred years.

Brian Clegg's acclaimed popular science book Inflight Science explored the science experienced on a plane flight. Interstellar Tours takes that concept and goes large. It takes the listener on a tour of our galaxy on the starship Endurance.
