How Planets Move

Eleanor Hawking

Translator A AI

Summary

How Planets Move explores the fascinating principles governing planetary motion, revealing the elegant dance of planets through the cosmos. It begins with a historical overview, contrasting geocentric and heliocentric models, before diving into the groundbreaking contributions of astronomers like Kepler and Newton. The book highlights how seemingly complex orbits are governed by fundamental physical laws, emphasizing that Newton's laws offer a framework for predicting celestial movements.

 
The book then presents Kepler's laws, explaining the elliptical nature of orbits, the concept of equal areas in equal times, and the relationship between orbital period and semi-major axis. Transitioning to Newton's law of universal gravitation, it demonstrates how this law mathematically explains Kepler's empirical observations. It also discusses perturbations, revealing how gravitational interactions cause deviations from perfect orbits.

 
Finally, the book explores real-world applications, such as calculating orbital parameters for spacecraft and understanding exoplanetary systems. This book uniquely bridges physics with mathematics and engineering, revealing the interconnectedness of scientific disciplines. It adopts a systematic approach, guiding readers through concepts with clarity, making it valuable for students, amateur astronomers, and anyone curious about the science of planetary motion and celestial mechanics.

Corbus Saves His Friends

Jerzy Jones

What happens when the animal everyone thinks is a nuisance becomes the only one who can save the day?

Meet Corbus, a magnificent cheetah and the absolute fastest animal in the land! But moving at lightning speed isn't always easy. Every time Corbus zooms by, he kicks up massive clouds of dust. Michaela the monkey loses her bananas, Percy the polecat gets tumbled over, and the spiders have their carefully spun webs crashed into. To his neighbors, poor Corbus is just a bothersome pest.

“Why are you always running so fast?” they shout.
Corbus doesn't mean to cause trouble; he just loves to run! But everything changes on the day the land faces its greatest terror: a raging, unstoppable wildfire. As the flames crackle and the lightning strikes the dry earth, the elephants, lions, birds, and bees scurry in panic. The fire moves too fast for them to escape.
Only one animal has the speed to outrun the roaring heat.
In a heartwarming display of bravery, Corbus turns his greatest trait into a lifesaving gift. Scooping up the injured monkey, offering his back to the polecat, and letting the baby spiders spin their sticky silk right onto his fur, Corbus races against the storm to carry his jungle family to the safety of the rocky outcrop. Packed with high-stakes adventure, gentle humor, and profound heart, Corbus Saves His Friends is an unforgettable audio journey.

Owen Jones

In this book, we will explore some of the most popular and fascinating animals that people choose to keep as pets. People have spent years studying and researching the behaviour, biology, and ecology of various domestic and exotic animals, including cats, dogs, horses, spiders, snakes, and stick insects.
Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature. Horses, on the other hand, have a long history of working alongside humans in various activities, including transportation, agriculture, and sports.
When it comes to exotic pets, spiders, snakes, and stick insects are some of the most intriguing animals to keep. These creatures may not be everyone`s cup of tea, but they have unique adaptations and behaviour patterns that make them fascinating to observe. Spiders, for example, have an intricate web-spinning ability that allows them to capture their prey with ease. Snakes, on the other hand, have a unique way of moving and hunting, which sets them apart from other animals.
Lastly, stick insects, also known as phasmids, are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings to avoid predators.
In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets. Whether you are a seasoned pet owner or considering getting your first pet, this book is an excellent resource to learn more about these fascinating creatures.

Galaxies - (The MIT Press...

Or Graur

In Galaxies, Or Graur offers a brief and fascinating overview of the history, physics, and astrophysical uses of galaxies. Starting with the history of the last two thousand years of galaxy studies, Graur discusses the types of galaxies we observe and the physics that drive them; the myths and physical structure of the Milky Way; how galaxies were used to discover and study the mysterious phenomena of dark matter and dark energy; and how scientists think galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang and evolved to their present forms. 
 
 
 
Tracing galaxy studies back thousands of years ago to their beginnings, Graur describes their origin in Ptolemy's book Almagest, which was written in the first century CE. Almagest catalogued hundreds of stars and a few hazy cloud-like objects, one of which was the Andromeda galaxy. The listener will also encounter in this book well-known figures such as William Herschel, who, along with his sister Caroline, discovered hundreds of galaxies and lay the foundations for modern galaxy studies, as well as lesser-known astronomers, including tenth-century Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi. Galaxies concludes by showing listeners how they can get involved in galaxy studies themselves and do their part to fight the light pollution that today obscures the Milky Way and all but the brightest of stars.
