Kwok S. The Origin and Evolution of Planetary Nebulae
Cambridge University Press, 2000, 243 Pages
This authoritative volume presents a thoroughly mode understanding of planetary nebulae, integrating new developments in stellar physics with the dynamics of nebular evolution. It covers all the stages in the evolution of planetary nebulae, carefully synthesizes observations from across the spectrum and clearly explains all the key physical processes at work. Particular emphasis is placed on recent observations from space, using the Hubble Space Telescope, the Infrared Space Observatory and the ROSAT satellite. Coverage also describes exciting possibilities such as the use of planetary nebulae in determining the cosmic distance scale, the distribution of dark matter and the chemical evolution of galaxies. This book provides graduate students with an accessible introduction to planetary nebulae, and researchers with an authoritative reference. It can also be used as an advanced textbook on the physics of the interstellar medium.

Springer, 2006. - 257 Pages. Most amateur astronomers yearn to observe more frequently. Many of them, however, live in urban and highly developed suburban areas that are heavily light polluted. Due to this light pollution, they are under the impression that deep sky objects—nebulae, galaxies, star clusters—are either invisible or not worth viewing from home. This book describes the many objects that can be seen in a bright urban sky, and shows...

Wiley. 2010. 304 p. On 27th December 1984, a team of meteorite hunters, funded by the National Science Foundation, picked up a rock of 1.93 kg in an Antarctic area known as Alan Hills. Since it was the fi rst one to be collected in 1984, it was labeled ALH84001, AL an H ills 19 84 no. 00 1 . Soon it became evident that this meteorite originated from our neighbor planet Mars – a rock that formed 4.1 billion years ago and was blasted off the red p...
