Our solar system is currently orbiting a Black Hole 26,000 light years away at a speed of 200 km per second.

In Ten Tips for Surviving a Black Hole physicist and novelist Janna Levin takes you on a journey inside a black hole, explaining what would happen to you in there and why.

Brief Answers, Big Questions: four new books celebrating the genius of Stephen Hawking's brilliant posthumous work, Brief Answers to the Big Questions, with each one offering two electrifying essays from one of the greatest minds of our age.

(Hardback)

Describes a revolutionary approach to determining low energy routes for spacecraft and comets by exploiting regions in space where motion is very sensitive. This work also represents an introductory text to celestial mechanics, dynamical systems, and dynamical astronomy.

(Paperback)

Offers advanced graduate students and researchers with a text that discusses the dynamic electromagnetism of the cosmos - that is, the vast magnetic fields that are carried bodily in the swirling ionized gases of stars and galaxies and throughout intergalactic space.

(Paperback)

Describes the basic physical processes - including radiative transfer, molecular absorption, and chemical processes - common to the various planetary atmospheres, as well as the transit, eclipse, and thermal phase variation observations that are unique to exoplanets.

(Paperback)

An exposition of black-hole astrophysics and general relativity that help you to understand how gamma rays, cosmic rays, and neutrinos are produced by black holes. It presents a mathematical description of fundamental astrophysical radiation processes, including Compton scattering of electrons and photons.

(Paperback)

Covers the basic concepts in cosmology, drawing on insights from an astronomer who has pioneered much of this research over the years. This book covers such topics as the gravitational growth of perturbations in an expanding universe, the abundance and properties of dark matter halos and galaxies, and reionization.

(Hardback)

Discusses some techniques used to obtain numerical solutions of the equations of motion for planets and satellites. This book also introduces the two-body problem and solves it by developing six integrals of the motion, starting from Newton's three laws of motion and his law of gravitation and then using vector algebra to develop the integrals.

(Paperback, Revised edition)

Presents an account of two pillars of the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory: stable and chaotic behavior. This title discusses cases in which N-body motions are stable, covering topics such as Hamiltonian systems, the (Moser) twist theorem, and aspects of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory.

(Paperback)

Discusses both the foundations and techniques of MK and other spectral classification systems. This book introduces the astrophysics of spectroscopy, reviews the entire field of stellar astronomy, and shows how the well-tested methods of spectral classification are a tool for graduate students and researchers working in astronomy and astrophysics.

(Paperback)

With the development of nuclear physics the theory of the stellar interior entered a new phase. Many new investigations have been conducted and the results published in a variety of specialized media. This book brings these results together in a single volume and summarizes the present status of the theory of stellar evolution. Originally publishe
