1,001 Celestial Wonders is a guide to the night sky's brightest and most fascinating objects. Each target is accessible to amateur astronomers using medium-sized telescopes from a dark site. In fact, many are so bright they remain visible under moderate light pollution, as from the outskirts of a city or the suburbs of a town. The book provides a chronological target list, making it easy to use. No matter what night you choose, this book will show you many of the most memorable objects to observe, whether you are using a small telescope or even binoculars, or an instrument of larger aperture. This is far more than just a list of interesting objects. It is structured so that objects of various observing difficulty are included, which will help readers become better observers, both encouraging beginners and challenging long-time amateur astronomers. This book is designed to be easy-to-use at the telescope, and observers will appreciate each object's standardized layout and the book's chronological organization. Finally, many amateur astronomers function best when presented with a list! Even the Meade Autostar® controller features a 'best tonight' list (although the list is far less comprehensive and detailed than the catalog provided in this book), a feature that has proved extremely popular. 1,001 Celestial Wonders offers a life-list of objects any observer would be proud to complete.

Celestial phenomena were often harnessed for use by clerics in early modern Germany. Kurihara examines how and why interest in these events grew in this period, how the clergy exploited these beliefs and the role of sectarianism in Germany at this time.

This book describes over 300 celestial wonders that can be viewed with common binoculars and low-power "backyard" telescopes incorporating refractors and reflectors. In addition to such showpieces as the Andromeda Galaxy, the largest and brightest of all galaxies after the Milky Way, and the Blue Snowball, one of the autumn sky's outstanding planetary nebulas, over 20 other special objects are listed and characterized, many of which are visible to the unaided eye on a dark, clear night. The sun, moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and other members of the earth’s solar system are also described, as are such bright asteroids as Ceres, Juno, and Vesta; open star clusters, diffuse nebulas, supernova remnants, spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and a host of other astronomical phenomena. An abbreviated descriptive format is used to accommodate as much information on observation as possible for both field and armchair use.

In the year 2035, humanity faces an impending invasion from a species located three-hundred light years away from Earth. Unknowing to the Earth’s leadership and their militaries, a race of war fascists called the Mortellas Alliance had moved into a space sector on a moon near Mars, bringing them within striking distance from the planet Earth. Their mission was to conduct surveillance on the Earth. At the same time, their military and scientists collectively worked to develop an unknown secret weapon intended to be used to exterminate the inhabitants of the Earth. The story follows Colonel Raymond Adams, the Commander of the Earth’s first interstellar spacecraft code-named Gulliver. The vessel was designed from blueprints received through secret transmissions sent to American President Henry Nelson from a peaceful race called the Terrennians. The Terrennians provided the Earth’s leadership with advance warning of the impending invasion from the Mortellas Alliance along with coordinates of the location of their secret military base on the outer moon of Mars. The Gulliver’s spacecraft was named after the fictional character Gulliver, who explored unknown lands and encountered strange and fascinating creatures. The Space Command chose the name to signify the spirit of exploration and discovery that the Gulliver spacecraft represented in the eyes of the American people and the World. The crew of the Gulliver was carefully selected and trained for years to ensure they were fully prepared and mentally tested for the most crucial mission in the Earth’s history. The Gulliver crew members were some of the finest astronauts ever selected for the NASA space program and the best in their chosen specialties and fields. The Pentagon’s and NASA leaderships believed the Gulliver’s Commander and crew members could be the key to the survival of Earth and humanity. I invite you to travel with Colonel Raymond Adams and the crew of the Gulliver interstellar spacecraft as they bridge numerous obstacles, battle the Mortellas Alliance, and forge new alliances while building a solid and cohesive team.
