This definitive visual guide to the Universe explores every aspect of space from the Big Bang to the planets of the Solar System. A comprehensive atlas maps the night sky as it is seen from all parts of the world and at all times of year. Detailed profiles describe and illustrate a huge array of objects, from asteroids and comets to stars and supernovae. Striking images combine with accessible and authoritative text to explain complex concepts clearly and visually.

A genuinely practical hands-on guide for service engineers -- including a new section on the latest digital equipment. Previous editions of this unique `hands-on' fault-finding book became the guide and mentor for thousands of service technicians and engineers in many countries and was widely adopted as a college text. Based on many years of practical bench and field experience, the book wastes little space on theoretical principles and circuit description where it is well covered elsewhere: here the emphasis is on the practical business of fault diagnosis and repair. Twenty chapters focus on specific aspects of the equipment, dwelling longest on the most troublesome: TV power supplies, line timebases and video deck machines. Otherchapters examine test-gear, intermittent faults diagnosis in digital TV and video equipment, satellite-receiver repair techniques, interfacing/hookups and workshop practice. A symptom index is included for easy reference....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stars of different mass and age have varying internal structures. Stellar structure models describe the internal structure of a star in detail and make detailed predictions about the luminosity, the color and the future evolution of the star. Different layers of the stars transport heat up and outwards in different ways, primarily convection and radiative transfer, but thermal conduction is important in white dwarfs. Convection is the dominant mode of energy transport when the temperature gradient is steep enough so that a given parcel of gas within the star will continue to rise if it rises slightly via an adiabatic process.

From the planet Jupiter to a refracting telescope, discover all about the stars and planets in our solar system and the equipment you need to spot them. Each of the planets is illustrated and described in incredible detail while the complex process of locating planets in the night sky is made simple through charts, maps and diagrams. You'll find star charts to help you to locate and identify constellations and individual stars. Interesting features in the sky are examined in a monthly guide, complemented by absorbing accounts of all 88 constellations and the objects they contain. Perfect for beginners or intermediate astronomers and pocket-sized so you can take it outside.

The definitive guide to the universe, from the Solar System to the farthest limits of space, for the whole family is now available in paperback.

Chapters: List of Voids, Cmb Cold Spot, Local Void, Bootes Void, Northern Local Supervoid, Southern Local Supervoid. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 38. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This is a list of voids. Voids are particularly galaxy-poor volumes of space between filaments, making up the large-scale structure of the universe. Some voids are known as supervoids. This suspected void ranged 100 degrees across the sky, and has shown up on other surveys as several separate voids. In 1985, Tully determined a local dominant supercluster plane, and found the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex. In a 1985 study of Abell clusters, 29 voids wee determined, in the sphere...

Stillman Drake

In a startling reinterpretation of the evidence, Stillman Drake advances the hypothesis that Galileo’s condemnation by the Inquisition was caused not by his defiance of the Church, but by the hostility of contemporary philosophers. Galileo’s own beautifully lucid arguments are used to show how his scientific method—based on a search not for causes but for laws—was utterly divorced from the Aristotelian approach to physics. His methodology had a definitive impact on the development of modern physics, and led to a final parting of the ways between science and philosophy.
