Solar flares, which have significant space weather consequences, are natural particle accelerators and one of the most spectacular phenomena of solar activity. RHESSI is the most advanced solar X-ray and gamma-ray mission ever flown and has opened a new...

In radio astronomy wider observing bandwidths are constantly desired to provide improved sensitivity and velocity coverage. As observing frequencies move steadily higher with advances in technology these needs become even more pressing. In order to...

Typically, a book can only provide readers with an obscured vantage of its text's origin. By the time that book reaches bookshelves, the ideas that had first enticed its author have already passed through countless rounds of revisions. While the outcome...

Studies of the beneficial and transformative qualities of encounters with nature typically focus on ‘green’ or grounded nature. In Sark in the Dark, Ada Blair shifts this focus upwards to a refreshing encounter with the richness of the dark...

Il y a plus de 200 ans, le célèbre chasseur de comètes français Charles Messier a publié un catalogue d'objets flous qu'il a vus au télescope et qui ressemblent à des comètes, mais ne le sont pas. À ses yeux, ils étaient plutôt énervants ; pourtant, on...

 MARS CITY STATES New Societies for a New World People will soon be able to go to the Red Planet. But that very possibility opens a still more interesting - indeed truly grand - question: What will we create on Mars? It was to answer this question...

Uranus is a billion light years away from Earth. Because of the distance, no man has ever been to Uranus. What we know about it is derived from observations scientists were able to make using powerful telescopes. Much of the knowledge accumulated about...
