ASTRONOMERS UNIVERSE COSMIC DEBRIS - JONATHAN...

This book examines the mysterious and the well-studied debris in Earth's crowded neighborhood.
From orbiting comets to the workings of the Asteroid Belt  and from meteor showers to our
home-grown network of orbiting satellites  the full diversity of space objects and the debris
they create is explored. Powell also discusses some of the current research techniques used to
find potentially harmful rogue elements  with an emphasis on keeping watch for any objects that
may intersect Earth's orbit. Such bodies also impact other worlds  and much has been learned
from observing these encounters. The information in this book is intended to foster thought
about the universe in which we live  but without overloading its readers with numbers and
lecture-room analysis. Like a good thriller  it allows its readers to pace themselves with the
story and  by the end  encourages them to draw their own conclusions.
