  Dark space, a term that captures the vast and mysterious regions of the universe that remain elusive to the human eye, is one of the most fascinating and perplexing subjects in modern astronomy and physics. It refers to the areas of space that are largely empty or seem devoid of matter, yet are crucial to our understanding of the cosmos. Unlike the stars, planets, and galaxies that illuminate the night sky, dark space is often invisible to our telescopes and our senses. This absence of light and matter doesn’t mean that dark space is inactive or devoid of interest. On the contrary, dark space is full of hidden forces and phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. It holds the secrets to some of the most fundamental questions about the universe's structure, its origins, and its ultimate fate. 
  The origins of dark space can be traced back to the very beginning of the universe. When the Big Bang occurred, it led to the creation of matter and energy. However, the universe didn’t begin with the stars and galaxies that we are familiar with today. Instead, it started as a hot, dense point that rapidly expanded. As the universe cooled, matter began to condense and form structures, such as galaxies, but there was also a significant amount of empty space that remained. This space, often referred to as "dark" because it contains little to no visible matter, is not empty in the sense that it is void of energy. Instead, it is filled with forces and substances that we cannot see directly. 
  One of the key aspects of dark space is the presence of dark matter, a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe’s total mass. Although dark matter cannot be directly observed, its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter.

  This book consists of 3 titles, which are the following: 
  Exoplanets - Exploring exoplanets opens up a realm of possibilities for understanding the vastness of the cosmos. With over 4,000 confirmed exoplanets discovered to date, each new finding offers a glimpse into the incredible diversity of worlds that exist beyond our solar system. 
  Planetary Formation - Planetary formation is a captivating process that unfolds over millions to billions of years, sculpting the celestial bodies that populate our cosmos. It begins within the swirling embrace of a protoplanetary disk, a vast expanse of gas and dust leftover from the birth of a new star. Within this cosmic crucible, tiny grains of dust collide and coalesce, forming larger and larger aggregates known as planetesimals. Through the relentless pull of gravity, these planetesimals grow into protoplanets, embryonic worlds with the potential to one day become full-fledged planets. 
  Stellar Evolution - Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution.

  This book takes you on a deep-space expedition into the eerie remains and forgotten wonders of the cosmos. In Galactic Ghosts, we explore the spectral remnants of once-vibrant galaxies—those that flicker faintly in the void or have vanished entirely, leaving only gravitational footprints and dust trails behind. These ghostly presences echo stories of collapse, expansion, and cosmic rebirth. 
  Galactic Mysteries dives into the unexplained phenomena that baffle astronomers: fast radio bursts from unknown sources, wandering black holes, and matter that can’t be seen but shapes everything we know. Here, mystery isn’t just a question—it’s the invitation to uncover truths buried in the silence of space. Each anomaly deepens our understanding of what the universe hides behind its twinkling veil. 
  Echoes of the Cosmos reflects on the residual energy and soundless signals that ripple across galaxies long after the source has died. From microwave background radiation to gravitational waves, the universe keeps a record of its most dramatic moments. These cosmic echoes are not just leftovers—they’re the fingerprints of creation, war, and celestial evolution, still lingering among the stars.

  Geophysics - The Physics of...

  Geophysics is the branch of Earth sciences that applies the principles of physics to study the Earth's structure, composition, and dynamic processes. It plays a fundamental role in understanding the physical properties of our planet, from the deep interior to the surface and beyond into the atmosphere and magnetosphere. By utilizing various physical measurements and mathematical models, geophysicists investigate phenomena such as earthquakes, gravitational fields, magnetic fields, heat flow, and fluid dynamics. 
  One of the primary objectives of geophysics is to analyze the Earth's subsurface without direct observation, making it an essential tool in fields such as resource exploration, environmental studies, and hazard assessment. Seismic waves generated by natural or artificial sources, for example, allow scientists to infer the structure of the Earth's interior. The variations in Earth's gravity and magnetic fields provide crucial insights into the distribution of mass and the composition of different layers within the planet. 
  Geophysics encompasses a wide range of subfields, each focusing on specific aspects of Earth's physical behavior. Seismology, one of the most well-known branches, studies the propagation of seismic waves to understand earthquakes and the internal structure of the Earth. Geomagnetism examines the Earth's magnetic field, its origins, and its variations over time. Gravimetry focuses on measuring and interpreting variations in the Earth's gravitational field, which can reveal density differences in the subsurface.

  Bacteria - A Very Short...

  Bacteria form a fundamental branch of life. They are the oldest forms of life and the most prolific of all living organisms, inhabiting every part of the Earth's surface, its ocean depths, and even such inhospitable places as boiling hot springs. In this Very Short Introduction, bacteriologist Sebastian Amyes explores the nature of bacteria, their origin and evolution, bacteria in the environment, and bacteria and disease. Amyes discusses some of the major infections caused by bacteria-bacteria causes pneumonia, diphtheria, cholera, and many other diseases-and shows how these pathogens avoid the defenses of the human body. But the book looks at all aspects of bacteria, not just the negative side, stressing the key benefits of bacteria, which have been harnessed to preserve food, dispose of waste and to provide compost for horticulture. Indeed, life for man and for many animals would be impossible without bacteria. Amyes also offers a glance into the future, describing how bacteria might be manipulated to perform tasks that they previous were unable to perform and discussing the recent construction of a completely synthetic bacterial cell.
