Dear Reader, This book is an invitation to explore the unknown secrets of the Solar System, unravel the mysteries of captivating planets, and embark on a magical journey into the depths of the universe. The Solar System is akin to precious jewels in the vastness of space, where each planet, moon, and extraordinary phenomenon harbors a unique tale that captivates the human mind. Throughout history, planets have enthralled humanity and occupied the center stage of scientific inquiry. From ancient civilizations to modern science, astronomers have been mesmerized by the celestial dance of planets and their intricate nature. However, the information age and technological advancements have allowed us to take great strides in unraveling the secrets of the Solar System. This book aims to take readers on a profound journey into each planet of the Solar System, delving deep into their unique characteristics. From Mercury to Pluto, from Jupiter's Great Red Spot to Venus' greenhouse effect, from Saturn's rings to Mars' surface, you will embark on a knowledge-filled expedition of discovery. But this book does not only push the boundaries of the Solar System. We will journey into the depths of the universe, exploring the mystical realm of exoplanets, venturing beyond the realms of planets, and deciphering the enigma of interstellar objects. This book is not just a guide filled with facts; it reflects the significance of human curiosity and the spirit of exploration. Each discovery propels us deeper, urging us to ask new questions, and reminding us that the universe's wonders are far from being fully understood. In this journey, we will not only explore the limits of the Solar System but also explore the mysteries of the universe. Delving into exoplanets, we will unveil distant worlds beyond our grasp, and unravel the mysteries of interstellar phenomena. This book is not just an adventure into the cosmos; it is an ode to the human spirit of curiosity and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Each discovery, big or small, feeds our hunger for understanding, driving us to embrace the mysteries that lie ahead. As we venture forth, this book invites future generations of scientists, astronomers, and planetary explorers to partake in the wondrous journey. Welcome to the quest of unveiling the mysteries of the Solar System and the universe! Warm regards,

When a planet, moving faster than Earth, entered the Solar System out beyond Pluto, the reporters, for want of a better name, termed it "Planet X." "Planet X, that astronomical curiosity," became, in a few short weeks, an object of stark terror to the billions of people scattered on the planets around our Sun, from blazing Mercury to frigid Pluto. To Bob Griffith's father, Commander of the Ninth Wing of the Solar Federation's Space Navy, fell the task of investigating the strange visitor whose black ships moved through space without rocket exhaust, and whose weapons literally melted spaceships out of the heavens. As his father's aid, aboard the gleaming LANCE OF DEIMOS that led the reconnaissance fleet, Bob watched in horror the first incident that would start a war which the Solar Federation "could not win." This gripping tale that rockets from Neptune's tiny moon of Outpost, base of the Federation's Navy, to the orbit of an Earth threatened with destruction, features a young space cadet and his father, who, while preparing for war, desperately search for peace. How Bob Griffith finds himself a captive on the mysterious planet, Thule; details of life on a world that has learned how to overcome the forces of gravity and momentum; the discussions that rage over the acceptance of a "wandering planet" into the Solar alliance come alive in a book that vividly creates a troubled era in a fascinating universe of the future! Lester del Rey (1915 - 1993) was an American science fiction author and editor. He was the author of many books in the juvenile Winston Science Fiction series, and the editor at Del Rey Books, the fantasy and science fiction imprint of Ballantine Books, along with his fourth wife Judy-Lynn del Rey.

In recent years, planetary science has seen a tremendous growth in new knowledge. Deposits of water ice exist at the Moon's poles. Discoveries on the surface of Mars point to an early warm wet climate, and perhaps conditions under which life could have emerged. Liquid methane rain falls on Saturn's moon Titan, creating rivers, lakes, and geologic landscapes with uncanny resemblances to Earth's. Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 surveys the current state of knowledge of the solar system and recommends a suite of planetary science flagship missions for the decade 2013-2022 that could provide a steady stream of important new discoveries about the solar system. Research priorities defined in the report were selected through a rigorous review that included input from five expert panels. NASA's highest priority large mission should be the Mars Astrobiology Explorer Cacher (MAX-C), a mission to Mars that could help determine whether the planet ever supported life and could also help answer questions about its geologic and climatic history. Other projects should include a mission to Jupiter's icy moon Europa and its subsurface ocean, and the Uranus Orbiter and Probe mission to investigate that planet's interior structure, atmosphere, and composition. For medium-size missions, Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 recommends that NASA select two new missions to be included in its New Frontiers program, which explores the solar system with frequent, mid-size spacecraft missions. If NASA cannot stay within budget for any of these proposed flagship projects, it should focus on smaller, less expensive missions first. Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 suggests that the National Science Foundation expand its funding for existing laboratories and establish new facilities as needed. It also recommends that the program enlist the participation of international partners. This report is a vital resource for government agencies supporting space science, the planetary science community, and the public.

Get ready to embark on the exciting search for dark matter—the invisible mass that dominates our universe. This popular science book explains why this mysterious dark matter has been incorporated into the standard model of the universe and how scientists are able to “observe” the invisible. The book starts with the early indications of the existence of dark matter, including the strange cohesion of galaxy clusters, before moving on to modern observations like cosmic background radiation. Along the way, you will learn about the direct and indirect methods being used by researchers to track down dark matter and whatever is behind this strange phenomenon. The Mystery of Dark Matter will appeal to general readers who wish to understand what scientists actually know about dark matter, along with the methods they use to help crack the mystery. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Das Rätsel Dunkle Materie by Wolfgang Kapferer, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Deutschland in 2018.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
