EVER WONDERED… Why we are so different from each other even though we share the same planet? Over the centuries, our solar system has been the subject of constant research, endless directions, dimensions, ideas and theories have been formulated on this subject. But every story takes us from one horizon to another, and a new endless story starts from there. This book is a work of science fiction and the ultimate exploration of the origin of human and other forms of life on the planet Earth, which is based upon the author’s intuition. According to the author, she does not have any scientific evidence to prove her story that states migration took place to the Planet Earth, but it may lead someone someday to give validity to this amazing history that has never been thought of or explored. The distinctive feature of this book is that it does not relate to any culture, religion, spirituality, astronomy, astrology or romance. Rather it is a marvellous journey backwards in time to unveil the mystery of the lives of other planets.

How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming
Author: Mike Brown
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0385531109
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The solar system most of us grew up with included nine planets, with Mercury closest to the sun and Pluto at the outer edge. Then, in 2005, astronomer Mike Brown made the discovery of a lifetime: a tenth planet, Eris, slightly bigger than Pluto. But instead of adding one more planet to our solar system, Brown’s find ignited a firestorm of controversy that culminated in the demotion of Pluto from real planet to the newly coined category of “dwarf” planet. Suddenly Brown was receiving hate mail from schoolchildren and being bombarded by TV reporters—all because of the discovery he had spent years searching for and a lifetime dreaming about. A heartfelt and personal journey filled with both humor and drama, How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming is the book for anyone, young or old, who has ever imagined exploring the universe—and who among us hasn’t?

Dying Planet
Author: Robert Markley
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822387271
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
For more than a century, Mars has been at the center of debates about humanity’s place in the cosmos. Focusing on perceptions of the red planet in scientific works and science fiction, Dying Planet analyzes the ways Mars has served as a screen onto which humankind has projected both its hopes for the future and its fears of ecological devastation on Earth. Robert Markley draws on planetary astronomy, the history and cultural study of science, science fiction, literary and cultural criticism, ecology, and astrobiology to offer a cross-disciplinary investigation of the cultural and scientific dynamics that have kept Mars on front pages since the 1800s. Markley interweaves chapters on science and science fiction, enabling him to illuminate each arena and to explore the ways their concerns overlap and influence one another. He tracks all the major scientific developments, from observations through primitive telescopes in the seventeenth century to data returned by the rovers that landed on Mars in 2004. Markley describes how major science fiction writers—H. G. Wells, Kim Stanley Robinson, Philip K. Dick, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and Judith Merril—responded to new theories and new controversies. He also considers representations of Mars in film, on the radio, and in the popular press. In its comprehensive study of both science and science fiction, Dying Planet reveals how changing conceptions of Mars have had crucial consequences for understanding ecology on Earth.
