And are rival nations already waging battles in space targeting each other’s satellites and using low earth orbit as a way to deliver warheads? LIQUID UNIVERSE: While water is considered the key to life the universe is awash in all sorts of strange liquids from oceans of methane to blobs of alcohol floating in space and even iron rain.

From one of our most acclaimed science writers: a dramatic narrative of the discovery of the true nature and startling size of the universe delving back past the moment of revelation to trace the decades of work--by a select group of scientists--that made it possible.On January 1 1925 thity-five-year-ol d Edwin Hubble announced findings that ultimately established that our universe was a thousand trillion times larger than previously believed filled with myriad galaxies like our own. It was a realization that reshaped how humans understood their place in the cosmos. Six years later continuing research by Hubble and others forced Albert Einstein to renounce his own cosmic model and finally accept the astonishing fact that the universe was not immobile but instead expanding. The story of these interwoven discoveries includes battles of will clever insights and wrong turns made by the early investigators in this great twentieth- century pursuit from the luminaries (Einstein Hubble Harlow Shapley) to the lesser known: Henrietta Leavitt who discovered the means to measure the vast dimensions of the cosmos . . . Vesto Slipher the first and unheralded discoverer of the universe’s expansion... Georges Lemaître the Jesuit priest who correctly interpreted Einstein’s theories in relation to the universe... Milton Humason who with only an eighth-grade education became a world-renowned expert on galaxy motions... and others.Here is the watershed moment in our cosmic history splendidly arising from the exceptional combination of human curiosity intelligence and enterprise.

Hubble Sees Galaxies Galore. Galaxies, galaxies everywhere - as far as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope can see. This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is the deepest visible-light image of the cosmos. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this galaxy-studded view represents a "deep" core sample of the universe, cutting across billions of light-years.The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colors. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old.In vibrant contrast to the rich harvest of classic spiral and elliptical galaxies, there is a zoo of oddball galaxies littering the field. Some look like toothpicks; others like links on a bracelet. A few appear to be interacting. These oddball galaxies chronicle a period when the universe was younger and more chaotic. Order and structure were just beginning to emerge.The Ultra Deep Field observations, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys, represent a narrow, deep view of the cosmos. Peering into the Ultra Deep Field is like looking through an eight-foot-long soda straw.In ground-based photographs, the patch of sky in which the galaxies reside (just one-tenth the diameter of the full Moon) is largely empty. Located in the constellation Fornax, the region is so empty that only a handful of stars within the Milky Way galaxy can be seen in the image.In this image, blue and green correspond to colors that can be seen by the human eye, such as hot, young, blue stars and the glow of Sun-like stars in the disks of galaxies. Red represents near-infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, such as the red glow of dust-enshrouded galaxies.The image required 800 exposures taken over the course of 400 Hubble o

From the enormous universe in which we exist to tiny atoms that make up the building blocks of everything around us, size matters when it comes to understanding the cosmos. Starting with our solar system, National Geographic explores the true meaning of the words "big" and "small". Our neighborhood of planets may seem vast but compared to the size of our Milky Way galaxy, our solar system is really tiny. And our galaxy is only one of about 100 billion galaxies in the cosmos. But every giant object in our expansive universe is made of tiny bits of matter-the atom-which is a universe within itself on a minute scale. Peer into the atomic world where scientists are using nanotechnology to develop lifesaving cures and ingenious inventions. Not available for shipment outside of the U.S.

Boys and girls love woodworking projects! But most kids (and most parents) lack woodworking skills. That's where Kids' Building Workshop steps in. Craig Robertson, a master carpenter and renowned designer and builder of furniture, and Barbara Robertson, an art educator who specializes in teaching children, have developed an inspired method for teaching kids and their parents the basics of woodworking. In this lively, fully photographed and illustrated book, the Robertsons present 15 fun projects that teach essential woodworking skills. For example, the Spider-Web String Art project teaches kids how to wield a hammer, and the Drilled Name Plaque project teaches kids the safe and proper way to use a drill. Building on these basic skills, the book moves on to intermediate- level projects. Kids learn how to make a sawhorse, a tool box, a step stool--all things that every carpenter must have to build bigger and more elaborate projects. Finally, the kids are ready to take on seriously hip projects: a cricket cage, a book house, a dollhouse (and dollhouse furniture!), a lemonade stand, and a kids' play table. The Kids' Building Workshop is a great primer that passes the hammer to a new generation of woodworking kids (and their parents). Paperback. 144 pages. 8 1/2" x 10 7/8". (shipping weight 2 lbs)
