Synopsis

Space Calendars explores the fascinating and complex world of timekeeping in space, revealing how astronauts, space agencies, and interstellar missions manage time far differently than we do on Earth. The book highlights the critical role of precise time measurement for everything from navigation and communication to ensuring astronaut health and safety. One intriguing aspect is the impact of time dilation, a consequence of relativity, which becomes significant at the high velocities encountered in space travel. Another key area is understanding how altered time perception affects astronauts psychologically and physiologically during long-duration missions. The book examines the development of specialized time systems for orbital operations and analyzes how various space agencies, such as NASA and ESA, implement mission-specific calendars and clocks. It delves into the history of time measurement, from ancient astronomical observations to today's atomic clocks, providing a comprehensive foundation for understanding the challenges of space timekeeping. By blending scientific theory, technical applications, and the human experience, Space Calendars demonstrates that our concept of time is shaped by our environment and technology. The book progresses logically, starting with the need for specialized timekeeping in space, then moving to mission-specific calendars, the human impact of altered time perception, and finally, theoretical challenges related to interstellar timekeeping. It draws from technical documents, astronaut memoirs, and scientific publications to present a comprehensive and accessible overview of this vital aspect of space exploration.

    While modern technology has helped astronomers view the furthest reaches of the Solar System, it has also allowed scientists to start discovering planets orbiting distant stars. To make it easier to assess the relative mass and size of the new planets being discovered, scientists give these measurements as multiples of those properties for either Jupiter or Earth. In other words, if the planet is the same mass as Jupiter, then this measure would be listed as 1.0 MJ. If it were three times the mass of Earth, then it would be listed as 3.0 MEarth. The sizes of exoplanets are frequently given by expressing their radii as multiples of Jupiter’s radius or as multiples of Earth’s radius, RJ and REarth, respectively.  
    	Of course, given the immense distances involved, detecting exoplanets has always been hard, even to this day. The variations of light that might be evidence of an exoplanet can be caused by other phenomena, and separating the false positives from the actual detections is part of the rigor required by modern planet hunters. For example, in July 1988, a Canadian team led by astronomers Bruce Campbell, Gordon Walker, and Stephenson Yang discovered persistent indications that a planet orbited the primary star in the Gamma Cephei system, 44.98 light-years (13.79 parsecs) from the Earth. Though the technique they used was successfully employed in many subsequent discoveries, the quality of their data was insufficient for others to verify as unequivocally the result of an extrasolar planet. For reasons of poor data quality, the claimed discovery of Gamma Cephei Ab was retracted in 1992.  
    	The first confirmed discovery of an exoplanet involved a system that surprised most planet hunters. While most astronomers had been looking to find planets orbiting stars in the main sequence (between infancy and old age) or in their old age (giant phase), the first confirmed planets were found to orbit a dead star.

    In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.  In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants. Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden.
