Award-winning science writer and documentarian Rod Pyle presents an insider's perspective on the most unusual and bizarre space missions ever devised inside and outside of NASA. The incredible projects described here were not merely flights of fancy....

On July 23, 1999, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, the most powerful X-ray telescope ever built, was launched aboard the space shuttle Columbia. Since then, Chandra has given us a view of the universe that is largely hidden from telescopes sensitive only to visible light. In Chandra's Cosmos, Wallace H. Tucker uses a series of short, connected stories to describe the telescope's exploration of the hot, high-energy face of the universe.

Edwin Hubble was a man ahead of his time. For him only astronomy really mattered. He took advantage of the opportunity given to him to use the most advanced telescope of his time to determine the truth behind the most distant clouds of light visible to Earth-based observers. His major discoveries changed our knowledge of our place in the universe forever. His determination that the universe is expanding served as the foundation for the big bang theory.

Everything we know about how planets form and how life arises suggests that human civilization on Earth should not be unique. We ought to see abundant evidence of extraterrestrial activity - but we don't. Where is everybody? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, science and technology writer Wade Roush examines one of the great unsolved problems in science: Is there life, intelligent or otherwise, on other planets?

En el siglo XVII, en una Europa desgarrada por guerras, disputas religiosas y supersticiones, Johannes Kepler convirtió una vida frágil—marcada por la enfermedad, la precariedad y pérdidas familiares—en una de las transformaciones intelectuales más profundas de la historia. Entre la fe y el método, entre la intuición de una armonía secreta y la disciplina de los datos de Tycho Brahe, Kepler desarmó el cielo “perfecto” de círculos y construyó un nuevo universo de elipses, leyes y números que todavía sostienen la astronomía moderna.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: A Historical Journey traces humanity’s oldest question across centuries of dreaming, discovery, and scientific determination: Are we alone in the universe?

En 1543, Nicolás Copérnico declaró que la Tierra giraba alrededor del Sol, revolucionando siglos de presunción escolástica. Se vislumbraba una nueva era, guiada por la observación, la tecnología y la lógica. Pero los presagios y los elixires no desaparecieron de manera instantánea de los laboratorios. Durante mucho tiempo, aún se podían encontrar amuletos y pociones entre relucientes instrumentos de metal y tomos encuadernados en cuero. La línea entre lo natural y lo sobrenatural seguía siendo porosa e indefinida.
