Hör du till dem som ännu inte har sett norrsken eller till dem som redan har det? Under de närmaste åren förväntas fler och starkare norrsken över hela Sverige, eftersom vi går mot det som kallas solmaximum, den tid av solcykeln då solfläckarna blir som flest. Den här handboken förklarar hur solfläckarna ger upphov till norrsken, varför förekomsten växlar över åren och vad som orsakar norrskenets olika färger. Här finns också kloka tips om vad man ska tänka på när man ger sig ut i förhoppning om att se den fascinerande ljusdansen.
Boken passar både den som aldrig tidigare sett norrsken och den inbitne fantasten som vill veta mer om sambandet mellan solvindsplasmat och jordens magnetfält – och kanske kunna göra sina egna norrskensprognoser.

Marcus Wandt lämnade jorden som ESA-astronaut den 18 januari 2024. Han tillbringade nästan 22 dygn i rymden, varav 18 dagar ombord på internationella rymdstationen ISS, och hann med 346 varv runt vår planet. I och med färden blev Marcus Wandt den tredje svensken i rymden. Med lekfull entusiasm beskrivs hur det var att som en av få utvalda få lämna vår planets atmosfär och hur man hanterar livet i tyngdlöshet. Boken är även en berättelse om mod och att våga ta risker, om riskerna är värda att tas. Han reflekterar också över vikten av den forskning som genomförs på ISS, om värdet av att sträva vidare framåt, att ständigt flytta fram gränserna, inte bara för vår egen eller enskilda länders skull, utan för hela mänskligheten och dess framtid.
"Respektfullt berättar Wandt också om tankarna inför och under den riskabla uppskjutningen. Väl installerad på rymdstationen målar han sedan upp en färgstark bild av rymdvardagen – hur. man umgås, sover, äter, städar, gör sin toalett och genomför forskningsuppdrag, men också hur man griper tillfällena att stilla begrunda vyn över vår jord och tankarna detta skapar. Interfolierat i berättelsen ger Wandt dessutom fakta om exempelvis rymdforskningens, rymdfärdernas och inte minst rymdmatens historia. Sammantaget lyckas författarteamet skapa en synnerligen välskriven, dynamisk, spännande, men också informativ text, som ger läsaren både ingående kunskaper om rymdvistelser och en känsla för hur dessa upplevs ur en astronauts eget perspektiv. Helhetsbetyg: 4."

A Brief History of Time for the 21st CenturyAt the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly, not even light can escape its grasp. Its secrets lie waiting to be discovered. It’s time to explore our universe’s most mysterious inhabitantsBlack Holes At the heart of the Milky Way lies a supermassive black hole 4 million times more massive than our Sun. A place where space and time are so warped that light is trapped if it ventures within 12 million km. According to Einstein, inside lies the end of time. According to 21st-century physics, the reality may be far more bizarre. Black holes lie where the most massive stars used to shine and at the edge of our current understanding. They are naturally occurring objects, the inevitable creations of gravity when too much matter collapses into not enough space. And yet, although the laws of nature predict them, they fail fully to describe them.Black holes are places in space and time where the laws of gravity, quantum physics and thermodynamics collide. Originally thought to be so intellectually troubling that they simply could not exist, it is only in the past few years that we have begun to glimpse a new synthesis; a deep connection between gravity and quantum information theory that describes a holographic universe in which space and time emerge from a network of quantum bits, and wormholes span the void.In this groundbreaking book, Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw take you to the edge of our understanding of black holes; a scientific journey to the research frontier spanning a century of physics, from Einstein to Hawking and beyond, that ends with the startling conclusion that our world may operate like a giant quantum computer.

Stung by the pioneering space successes of the Soviet Union - in particular, Gagarin being the first man in space, the United States gathered the best of its engineers and set itself the goal of reaching the Moon within a decade. In an expanding 2nd edition of How Apollo Flew to the Moon, David Woods tells the exciting story of how the resulting Apollo flights were conducted by following a virtual flight to the Moon and its exploration of the surface. From launch to splashdown, he hitches a ride in the incredible spaceships that took men to another world, exploring each step of the journey and detailing the enormous range of disciplines, techniques, and procedures the Apollo crews had to master. While describing the tremendous technological accomplishment involved, he adds the human dimension by calling on the testimony of the people who were there at the time. He provides a wealth of fascinating and accessible material: the role of the powerful Saturn V, the reasoning behind trajectories, the day-to-day concerns of human and spacecraft health between two worlds, the exploration of the lunar surface and the sheer daring involved in traveling to the Moon and the mid-twentieth century. Given the tremendous success of the original edition of How Apollo Flew to the Moon, the second edition will have a new chapter on surface activities, inspired by reader's comment on Amazon.com. There will also be additional detail in the existing chapters to incorporate all the feedback from the original edition, and will include larger illustrations.

'Accessible, imaginative and compelling' New ScientistHow do you explore distant stars, buried water on Mars or the first moments after the Big Bang - without leaving your back garden?In The Radio Universe, award-winning astrophysicist Emma Chapman takes us on an electrifying voyage through the cosmos using one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, tools in science: the radio wave. With dazzling clarity and humour, Chapman reveals how these invisible messengers glide through space, bounce off planets, tunnel through clouds and slip past galactic dust - carrying secrets of the universe that no other kind of light can uncover.We follow a single radio wave as it escapes Earth and travels outward - ricocheting off the Moon, tunnelling through Venus's furnace-thick atmosphere, tracing ancient ice hidden in Mercury's shadows and diving deep into the swirling arms of the Milky Way. Along the way, we meet black holes that roar louder than stars, pulsars more precise than atomic clocks and galaxies lit by the very first starlight. We explore volcanic pancake planets, death-defying neutron stars, the eerie possibility of alien broadcasts - and the fragile question of our own future in the cosmos.A celebration of human ingenuity and cosmic curiosity, The Radio Universe reveals that the true frontier of space isn't 'out there' - it's humming quietly all around us, waiting to be heard.

Winner, 2025 Choice Outstanding Academic TitleOn the surface of the Sun, spots appear and fade in a predictable cycle, like a great clock in the sky. In medieval Russia, China, and Korea, monks and court astronomers recorded the appearance of these dark shapes, interpreting them as omens of things to come. In Western Europe, by contrast, where a cosmology originating with Aristotle prevailed, the Sun was regarded as part of the unchanging celestial realm, and it took observations through telescopes by Galileo and others to establish the reality of solar imperfections. In the nineteenth century, amateur astronomers discovered that sunspots ebb and flow about every eleven years—spurring speculation about their influence on the weather and even the stock market.Exploring these and many other crucial developments, Pierre Sokolsky provides a history of knowledge of the Sun through the lens of sunspots and the solar cycle. He ranges widely across cultures and throughout history, from the earliest recorded observations of sunspots in Chinese annals to satellites orbiting the Sun today, and from worship of the Sun as a deity in ancient times to present-day scientific understandings of stars and their magnetic fields. Considering how various thinkers sought to solve the puzzle of sunspots, Sokolsky sheds new light on key discoveries and the people who made them, as well as their historical and cultural contexts. Fast-paced, comprehensive, and learned, The Clock in the Sun shows readers our closest star from many new angles.

This book describes the most complex machine ever sent to another planet: Curiosity. It is a one-ton robot with two brains, seventeen cameras, six wheels, nuclear power, and a laser beam on its head. No one human understands how all of its systems and instruments work. This essential reference to the Curiosity mission explains the engineering behind every system on the rover, from its rocket-powered jetpack to its radioisotope thermoelectric generator to its fiendishly complex sample handling system. Its lavishly illustrated text explains how all the instruments work -- its cameras, spectrometers, sample-cooking oven, and weather station -- and describes the instruments' abilities and limitations. It tells you how the systems have functioned on Mars, and how scientists and engineers have worked around problems developed on a faraway planet: holey wheels and broken focus lasers. And it explains the grueling mission operations schedule that keeps the rover working day in and day out.

Back on the earth after three spaceflights, Chris Hadfield's captivating memoir An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth reveals extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality. This edition contains a new afterword.Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's success – and survival – is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst – and enjoy every moment of it.In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement – and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth – especially your own.

April 13, 1970. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert are hurtling towards the moon in the Apollo 13 spacecraft, when an explosion rocks the ship. The cockpit grows dim, the air grows thin, and the instrument lights wink out. Moments later, the astronauts are forced to abandon the main ship for the tiny lunar module, designed to keep two men alive for just two days. But there are three men aboard and they are four days from home. As the action shifts from the disabled ship to the frantic engineers at Mission Control to Lovell's anxious family, APOLLO 13 brilliantly recreates the harrowing, heroic mission in all its drama and glory.This gripping story of human endurance is the basis for Ron Howard's classic film starring Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon.

När Neil Armstrong som första människa klev ner på månens yta 1969 markerade hans steg kulmen på en intensiv kapplöpning mellan USA och Sovjetunionen om att utforska rymden. Bakom de kostsamma satsningarna på allt större och mer avancerade raketer fanns både nationell prestige och säkerhetspolitiska intressen. I Kampen om rymden skildrar historikern och skribenten Björn Lundberg hur kalla krigets supermakter använde rymden som en skådeplats för fredlig tävlan, där vetenskap och ny teknik placerades i förgrunden. Men han kartlägger också den kapplöpning som under sträng sekretess parallellt pågick bakom kulisserna, där rymden införlivades i kalla krigets säkerhetspolitiska spel. Den som kontrollerade rymden, sades det, skulle också kunna kontrollera livet på jorden. Det är en berättelse om historiska framgångar och dramatiska tragedier, kryddad med topphemlig forskning, politiska strider och astronauter som hela tiden arbetade med livet som insats.

When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, millions of Americans became bound together in a single, historic moment. Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy. Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision, contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skullduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistake. Why did NASA managers, who not only had all the information prior to the launch but also were warned against it, decide to proceed? In retelling how the decision unfolded through the eyes of the managers and the engineers, Vaughan uncovers an incremental descent into poor judgment, supported by a culture of high-risk technology. She reveals how and why NASA insiders, when repeatedly faced with evidence that something was wrong, normalized the deviance so that it became acceptable to them. In a new preface, Vaughan reveals the ramifications for this book and for her when a similar decision-making process brought down NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003.

Millions around the world witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Yet the full story of what happened that day – and the ominous warning signs recognized but then ignored in the years before – has never been told.Following a handful of central protagonists – from the astronauts and their families to the rocket engineers who tried to stop the fateful launch – Challenger is a gripping tale of human over-reach; of cynicism and cost-cutting; of hubristic ‘go fever’; and of an investigation driven by heroic leakers and whistle-blowers determined to bring the truth to light. Blending human drama with fascinating science and political infighting, Challenger is a masterpiece of non-fiction storytelling.

When aliens finally arrive on Earth, they might enslave us—or maybe, they might just share the secrets of the universe. Will we be able to receive those precious jewels of knowledge? Is the common idea that maths and physics are a universal language really true? In Do Aliens Speak Physics?, Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner ask and answer questions both light-hearted and profound. Would aliens even need science to build the technology that brings them to Earth? Is it possible that they could experience the universe very differently, tasting electrons and smelling photons or are these particles only convenient concepts in our minds? With cartoons, deep insight and dad jokes, Whiteson and Warner explode the ideas you had about science and reality, leaving the universe—and humanity—stranger and more marvellous than before.
