Mind-bending sci-fi collides with Cold War thriller in this six-issue series by the best-selling and Eisner-winning creative team behind GIDEON FALLS! In 1957 the USSR made history by launching a dog named Laika into Earth's orbit. Two years later the USA responded with two monkeys, Able and Baker. These animals never returned. But unbeknownst to everyone, they did not die in orbit… they were taken. And now they are coming home. Collects PRIMORDIAL #1-6

In 1983, Mantak Chia introduced the "Microcosmic Orbit" to the West. Prior to that time, most of the Eastern energy practices transmitted to the West were incomplete, dealing only with the ascending yang/masculine channel, which shoots life-force energy up the spine. The Microcosmic Orbit showed practitioners how to establish the descending yin/feminine channel of the life-force energy loop. Within Taoist systems, cultivating feminine energy has always been seen as the key to gaining balance and wholeness. HEALING LIGHT OF THE TAO presents the more advanced methods of chi cultivation in the Microcosmic Orbit, offering a full understanding of Taoist spiritual theory through its comprehensive overview of the complete Taoist body/mind/spirit system. The book, also, includes more advanced meditation methods for absorbing the higher frequencies of Earth Force, Cosmic Force and Universal Force (Heavenly chi) into the basic orbit. It establishes a spiritual science that not only emphasises practical benefits to health, sexual vitality and emotional balance, but, also, shows how changes made in the energy body can lead to physical rejuvenation that the Taoists called immortality. New edition of Awaken Healing Light of Tao.

This volume contains the detailed text of the major lectures delivered during the I-CELMECH Training School 2020 held in Milan (Italy). The school aimed to present a contemporary review of recent results in the field of celestial mechanics, with special emphasis on theoretical aspects. The stability of the Solar System, the rotations of celestial bodies and orbit determination, as well as the novel scientific needs raised by the discovery of exoplanetary systems, the management of the space debris problem and the modern space mission design are some of the fundamental problems in the modern developments of celestial mechanics. This book covers different topics, such as Hamiltonian normal forms, the three-body problem, the Euler (or two-centre) problem, conservative and dissipative standard maps and spin-orbit problems, rotational dynamics of extended bodies, Arnold diffusion, orbit determination, space debris, Fast Lyapunov Indicators (FLI), transit orbits and answer to a crucial question, how did Kepler discover his celebrated laws? Thus, the book is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in the field of celestial mechanics and aerospace engineering.

Helliconia is a planet that, due to the massively eccentric orbit of its own sun around another star, experiences seasons that lasts eons. Whole civilisations grow in the Spring, flourish in the Summer and then die in the brutal winters. The human-like inhabitants have been profoundly changed by their experience of this harsh cycle.In orbit above the planet a terran mission struggles to observe and understand the effects on society of such a massive climatic impact.Massive, thoroughly researched, minutely organised, full of action, pulp references and deep drama this is a classic trilogy.

This informative poster features a diagram of the solar system. The path of each planet's orbit around the sun is indicated, and a mnemonic is given to help remember their order. Alongside the image of every planet, a 'fact card' gives its distance from the sun, diameter at equator, mass, time taken for one rotation, time taken to orbit the sun and number of moons. Three further diagrams indicate the effect of the sun in creating night and day, the moon's relationship to the earth and the alignment of sun, earth and moon needed for an eclipse.

An insider’s account of the NASA mission that changed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbitAre we alone in the universe? It’s a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA’s Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars—especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars—a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, with properties simultaneousl
