The impact of an asteroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Could another giant cosmic missile soon be heading our way? In Target Earth, acclaimed Dutch astronomy writer Govert Schilling provides a full account of what we know, and need to know, about all the extraterrestrial matter constantly bombarding our planet—from microscopic dust particles and space debris to massive meteorites, comets, and asteroids.

This concise guide on the James Webb Space Telescope describes our most powerful modern space observatory’s place in an exciting new era of astronomy. The Webb telescope is the largest, most technically advanced and most expensive space observatory to date. Development began in 1996 for a launch initially planned for 2007 with a US$500 million budget. Finally launched in December 2021, the telescope was 14 years behind schedule and 20 times over budget. Such was the price of the next major step in astronomy and physics. Written to be accessible to all readers, the book describes Webb’s ...

MALS Theory envisages three rings of galaxies, for simplicity. An Inner; a Middle and an Outer set of galaxies. The Inner galaxies traveling the slowest, while the Outer ring of galaxies traveling the fastest, in fact, approaching that of the speed of light. As a body's velocity increases - our universe is speeding up, so its mass will increase, and therefore, the gravitational pull will also increase. Eventually (though it is assumed time does not exist) at the outer reaches of the universe, all three rings (simplified universe) will be drawn together and when this happens, as the theory ...
