  • Cataclysmic Cosmic Events and How to Observe Them

    by Martin Mobberley ...

    In the Victorian era – or for non-British readers, the mid-to-late nineteenth century – amateur astronomy tended to center on Solar System objects. The Moon and planets, as well as bright comets, were the key objects of interest. The brighter variable stars were monitored, but photography was in its infancy and digital imaging lay a century in the future. Today, at the start of the twenty-first ... Read more

  • The Caldwell Objects and How to Observe Them

    by Martin Mobberley ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    When Mike Inglis, who consults for Springer, ? rst asked me to write a Caldwell book in their “and How to Observe Them” series I admit I did need some time to think the suggestion over. I am a fan of Patrick’s Caldwell catalog as are most of the amateur astronomers I know, but could a new book be justi? ed when the massive, compreh- sive, and wrist-spraining Caldwell tome by Stephen O’Meara covers ...

  • Hunting and Imaging Comets

    by Martin Mobberley ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    For many astronomers, the holy grail of observation is to discover a comet, not least because comets always bear the name of their discoverer! Hunting and Imaging Comets was written for comet hunters and digital imagers who want to discover, rediscover, monitor, and make pictures of comets using astronomical CCD cameras and DSLRs. The old days of the purely visual comet hunter are pretty much over ... Read more

    A Biography

  • If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

    Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we ... Read more
