  Portraits of the deep sky and of local astronomical phenomena taken by the world’s renowned astrophotographers—with a foreword by Neil deGrasse Tyson.   To gaze at the stars is one thing; to capture that gaze in photographs is something else, a tantalizing scientific art that many attempt and few master. That rare mastery is on full display in this beautiful volume of space photography from thirty of the most accomplished astrophotographers in the world, both professional and amateur. Galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, and other deep-sky treasures fill the pages. Along with the marvels of the night sky—the Andromeda and Whirlpool galaxies, the Pleiades and the Praesepe, the Orion and Crab nebulae, and many more—each section features a profile of the photographer’s work, techniques, philosophy, and experiences. Compiled by the world’s leading amateur astrophotographer, with an introduction to the history of space photography, this spectacular volume is an essential for every stargazer’s bookshelf.elf.

  A journalist specializing in conspiracy theories examines the US government’s role in censoring information about the space program and alien lifeforms. 
   
  The National Aeronautics and Space Administration—NASA—was established on July 29, 1958. Ever since that day, NASA has been at the forefront of efforts to explore outer space, resulting in the Apollo missions to the moon, the Skylab space-station, and today’s space shuttle. But behind the open face of NASA, there is a much more mysterious world. NASA has been linked to a wealth of high-level cover-ups, including:Claims that the Apollo moon landings of 1969 to 1972 were faked as part of an effort to demonstrate military and technological superiority over the former Soviet Union.NASA’s role in hiding the truth about the controversial face on Mars—which many believe to be a carved structure, created in the remote past by long-extinct, indigenous Martians.NASA’s deep and longstanding involvement in the famous UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947.Deep Throat—like NASA sources that have attempted to blow the lid on NASA’s most guarded secrets concerning the U.S. Government’s interactions with aliens. 
   
  The NASA Conspiracies throws open all the doors that the Space Agency has kept closed for so long.

  Systems Theory

  Systems theory is often referred as system science. It is interdisciplinary study of systems in common terms. Main goal of such studies is to discover new patterns and elucidating principles. Such principles are meant to be derived from and applied to almost any kind of system in all fields of research. These principles can be applied on such fields up to nesting levels. System theory or system science is often considered specialization of system thinking. The principles derived from it are simply gold output of this science of system or systems theory and systems engineering. It uses the emphasis on generality. Such emphasis is useful across a wide system range. When compared to particular models of individual fields, the common emphasis can be applied over wider range of systems. 
  Central topic of this theory is systems. The systems hold a self-correcting architecture. Feedback is used in order to perform such self-correction over the systems and by the systems themselves (quite confusing, isn’t it?). Such self-regulating systems can be found in nature. Here, term “nature” also includes human body’s physiological systems, global ecosystems, local ecosystems, climate and human learning processes as well. Including human or any individual living being is approved or allowed by many international organizations such as UN (United Nations). 
  Systems theory is originated from General System Theory (GST) developed by Bertalanffy. Systems theory can be used in many other fields. These fields or terms include action theory and social theory. Moreover, the action theory was developed by Talcott Parsons and the social systems theory was developed by Niklas Luhmann. 
  Multiple diverse fields or areas provided base knowledge in development of contemporary ideas of systems theory. Following are some of these many fields and studies along with their researchers:Exemplification by the work of Ludwig von Bertalanffy. He was a researcher in the field of biology.Linguist Bela H. BanathyTalcott Parsons in sociologyHoward T. Odum in ecological systemsEugene Odum, Fritjof Capra, Peter Senge in the field of organizational theory and managementDebora Hammond, Alfonso Montuori and Richard A. Swanson in the field of Human Resource Development and Interdisciplinary theories.In the terms of transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary and multiperspectival domain, concept of systems theory brings together many principles from ontology, scientific philosophy, physics, computer science, biology, engineering, sociology, geography, political science, psychotherapy and economics. 
  Thus, it is said that systems theory acts as a link for interdisciplinary dialogs that transfer between autonomous areas of study. These areas also cover systems science itself.

  Dark Space Enigmas - Dark Matter...

  The cosmic frontier has long captivated human imagination as it holds the mysteries of the universe in its vast expanses. From the earliest observations of the night sky, humanity has been drawn to the unknown depths beyond our planet, seeking to unravel the secrets of dark matter and the intricate evolution of galaxies. In this chapter, we explore the beginnings of our cosmic journey and the fundamental forces that shape the universe, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the interplay between dark matter and galactic evolution. 
  The universe, in its infancy, was a turbulent and dynamic environment where matter and energy coalesced into the structures we observe today. In the early moments following the Big Bang, subtle fluctuations in density laid the groundwork for the formation of dark matter haloes, which in turn influenced the emergence of galaxies. These initial irregularities acted as seeds that grew over time through gravitational attraction, gradually giving rise to the complex web of cosmic structures that now stretches across the observable universe. 
  As we peer into the cosmic frontier, the concept of dark matter becomes central to our understanding of the universe’s architecture. Dark matter, an invisible substance that does not interact with light in the conventional manner, exerts gravitational forces that shape the evolution of galaxies. Although its exact composition remains elusive, its effects are evident in the rotational speeds of galaxies and the clustering of matter on cosmic scales. The study of these phenomena provides critical clues about the underlying nature of dark matter and the processes that govern the birth and evolution of galactic systems.
