Earth Space Science

The Earth had four fleets to fight the invading enemy. The first fleet valiantly protected earth, but it wasn’t enough. Three fleets would arrive soon and end the threat...but they never came through the wormhole. One ship escaped the massacre, fleeing deep into space while the rest of Earth’s defenses were destroyed. Only the barrier around the planet keeps the enemy from finishing what they started.

Fleet Commander Kamuss of the Voltrex Federation is fighting a desperate battle to keep the massive Trellixian Empire at bay. His fleet pushes deep into the Empire facing impossible odds with stiffer resistance in every fleet engagement. Battle Commander Balforr of the Trellixian Empire has one objective driving him. Destroy Earth and the Humans that inhabit it! He gathers a fleet to accomplish his goal and sets out to destroy the last of the Human race. Captain Mark Dolan is sent on an impossible mission.

What do you know about planet Earth? Give curious kids a first look into space.

200 years ago it devoured Earth. 20 years ago it devoured Gilgamesh. 2 weeks ago it entered our dreams. Al isn’t just a spy, he’s one of the best covert agents alive. At least, he was before everyone in the system started dreaming about him. Now his cover’s blown and he’s out of his depth, scrambling for answers to a mystery humanity has never been able to solve. The Goo. The great cosmic, planet-eating substance that swallowed whole systems.

As end-of-the-world scenarios go, an apocalyptic collision with an asteroid or comet is the new kid on the block, gaining respectability only in the last decade of the 20th century with the realization that the dinosaurs were wiped out by just such an impact. Now the science community is making up for lost time, with worldwide efforts to track the thousands of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects and plans for high-tech hardware that could deflect an incoming object from a collision course.

The impact of an asteroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Could another giant cosmic missile soon be heading our way? In Target Earth, acclaimed Dutch astronomy writer Govert Schilling provides a full account of what we know, and need to know, about all the extraterrestrial matter constantly bombarding our planet—from microscopic dust particles and space debris to massive meteorites, comets, and asteroids.

Rosa De Angelo and Ellen McCarthy are about to become two of the newest victims of SEAS - Severe Environmental Allergy Syndrome. Haunted by dreams of orbs in the night, they wake up to news reports of UFO swarms and alien abductions by the thousands. Separated from their families, Rosa and Ellen are ushered into isolation tent cities established to prevent the public from having any further exposure to the growing number of SEAS victims.

Every minute, several huge “snowballs” break up as they approach the Earth and deposit a large cloud of water vapor in Earth’s upper atmosphere. That’s the startling finding that world-renowned physicist Louis A. Frank came to after studying the images from the Dynamics Explorer 1 spacecraft. His conclusion, based on data acquired at the limits of detection, created a storm of controversy among scientists. This is the story that was told in The Big Splash, published in 1990. But, the story does not end there.

Earth has survived an alien virus in this post-apocalyptic story. The alien virus was used to cleanse the planet before harvesting, and the surviving humans were given thousands of spaceships and robots as war reparations. The few survivors must adapt to survive.

Mind Openers 2.0 is the second installment in a two-part set. It takes a fresh look at relativity, cosmology, and quantum theory by imagining a “sandbox universe”, in which space and time are treated as tangible and visualizable phenomena. In addition to providing an intuitive feel for the physics, the model makes a number of acutely unexpected predictions. The author is a geophysicist (MSc, fellow of geoscientists, Canada) and educator, who specializes in translating scientific material for the non-expert.

È la sua ultima operazione prima del pensionamento e Patrick "Wic" Finnegan viene spedito sugli altipiani ghiacciati di Ellsworth. L'unica ragione per cui ha accettato? Deve un favore a un vecchio amico ma questo non vuol dire che lo faccia volentieri. Quando Wic finalmente vede ciò che la squadra di ricercatori ha scoperto, non può credere ai propri occhi: una tempesta furibonda si sta per scatenare sulla Terra.

Mars, the red planet, is ingrained in our culture, from David Bowie's extra-terrestrial spiders to Captain Scarlet to War of the Worlds. It has inspired hundreds of authors, scientists and science-fiction writers - but why? What is it about this particular planet that makes it so intriguing? Ancient mythologies defined Mars as a violent harbinger of war, star-gazers puzzled over its peculiar motion, and astrologers defined human personalities by its position and bizarre dance through the sky.

This pathbreaking book explores how life can begin, taking us from cosmic clouds of stardust, to volcanoes on Earth, to the modern chemistry laboratory. Seeking to understand life's connection to the stars, David Deamer introduces astrobiology, a new scientific discipline that studies the origin and evolution of life on Earth and relates it to the birth and death of stars, planet formation, interfaces between minerals, water, and atmosphere, and the physics and chemistry of carbon compounds.

Un secreto enterrado en la Antártida por miles de años. Y un sargento muy cabreado por tener que hacer de niñera para los investigadores que tienen que resolver el misterio. La última misión de Patrick Finnegan, alias Bic, antes de jubilarse de los marines, lo lleva hasta las montañas subglaciales Ellsworth. Pero ¿el motivo de verdad por el que está ahí? Le debe un favor a un viejo amigo. Aunque eso no significa que lo hará con gusto. Cuando Bic ve lo que han descubierto, no puede creerlo. Tampoco está listo para el estallido de violencia que se va a desencadenar.

Ein Geheimnis, verborgen in der Antarktis. Ein Rätsel, das seit Jahrtausenden auf seine Lösung wartet. Und ein Master Gunnery Sergeant aus Brooklyn, der ausgesprochen sauer ist, weil er auf einen Haufen Wissenschaftler aufpassen soll.

Marcus may have thought his biggest problem was ensuring that they didn't alert the humans to their food creation and family expansion activities while they worked on taking over Earth, but a new threat is on the horizon. The Space Agency wants to recreate Marcus' spaceship fuel, which requires massive amounts of space dust. The problem with that is that Earth's atmosphere doesn't kill a nervous system-destroying bacteria present in the space dust. Can Marcus delay them until he can take over the planet, or will he have to change Earth's atmosphere and hope he doesn't kill everything?

Imre Bergamasc's life has been nothing if not interesting. Returning from the grave to rule the galaxy, one might be tempted to say that he's taken the worst the universe could throw at him and emerged triumphant. But Imre's problems are only beginning.

Jack Munroe grew up in the Asteroid Belt and learned to never take anything at face value. In space, you assume, you die. So when Aliens show up in the distant Kuiper Belt, out beyond Pluto, asking for a First Contact 'chat' with his crewmates on the comet hunting spaceship Uhuru, he warns his captain not to trust words but to get the heck away. His evolutionary biology studies have taught him that bright skin colors, shark-like teeth and talons mean these Aliens are star-traveling predators!
