Discovering the Universe: From the Stars to the Planets engages students with an inquiry-based exploration of the universe and the scientific process.

Book Description
"What if?" questions stimulate people to think in new ways, to refresh old ideas, and to make new discoveries. In What If the Earth Had Two Moons, Neil Comins leads us on a fascinating ten-world journey as we explore what our planet would be like under alternative astronomical conditions. In each case, the Earth would be different, often in surprising ways. The title chapter, for example, gives us a second moon orbiting closer to Earth than the one we have now. The night sky is a lot brighter, but that won't last forever. Eventually the moons collide, with one extra-massive moon emerging after a period during which Earth sports a Saturn-like ring. This and nine and other speculative essays provide us with insights into the Earth as it exists today, while shedding new light on the burgeoning search for life on planets orbiting other stars. Appealing to adult and young adult alike, this book is a fascinating journey through physics and astronomy, and follows on the author's previous bestseller, What if the Moon Didn't Exist?, with completely new scenarios backed by the latest astronomical research.

Book Description
Both retrograde planets and intercepted signs are included in this well-written, in-depth volume. Joanne defines how they differ and what they indicate in the chart. She also introduces new ideas about retrograde planets and intercepted signs, offering fresh insights for interpretation in these sometimes overlooked areas. Retrograde planets and intercepted signs make the chart unique, and each describes the powers and potentials waiting to be unleashed in your life. In some way you will stand apart from the crowd with an exceptional life that is outside the norm and as unique to you as your birth chart. Not everyone is born with such an outstanding opportunity to realize their individual potential. Included is extensive delineation of intercepted signs in the houses, the six sign polarities, the elements, duplicated signs, phases and planetary pairs. Chapters are also devoted to relocation charts, transits in intercepted signs, the importance of environment vs. destiny and various house systems. In addition to a thorough explanation of how planets retrograde, Joanne gives detailed interpretation of the meaning of retrograde planets in the natal chart and their position in the context of the eight stages of cyclic unfoldment, six of which fall into the retrograde zone. This placement specifically defines how a retrograde planet operates in your life. Also thoroughly explained is the meaning of retrograde planets in their transit cycle, and the significance of a retrograde progressed planet.
