Book Description
This “marvelous lunar espionage thriller” by the science fiction grandmaster and author of 2001: A Space Odyssey “packs plenty of punch” (SFReviews.net). Two hundred years after landing on the Moon, mankind has moved further out into the solar system. With permanent settlements now established on the Moon, Venus, and Mars, the inhabitants of these colonies have formed a political alliance called the Federation. On the Moon, a government agent from Earth is tracking a suspected spy at a prominent observatory. His mission is complicated by the rise in tensions between Earth’s government and the Federation over access to rare heavy metals. As the agent finds himself locked in a battle for life and death on the eerie, lunar landscape, the larger conflict explodes across space, leaving mankind’s future in doubt. First published in 1955, this suspense-filled space opera by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame inductee was a significant forerunner of television hits like Star Trek and The Expanse.

Book Description
A teen boy and his family move to Earth’s first lunar colony where they find no shortage of drama in this science fiction manga series opener. The year: 2068. The place: Earthlight Lunar Colony, an international melting pot of scientific discovery and global tensions. Population: 228 adults—and four kids. Fifteen-year-old Damon Cole, who’s just arrived on the moon, is one of the first students at the new Earthlight Academy. It’s tough being the new kid—but it’s even worse when your mother is your teacher. And when your father is Chief Administrator of the entire colony, that’s really asking for it. Damon just wants to kick back and fit in. But soon he’s drawn into the life of a pretty girl named Lise, and her abusive boyfriend. Can he avoid being drawn into a deadly fistfight at the top of the lunar dome? And if so, will he be ready for the terror that’s coming—from the adult world? Praise for Earthlight, Volume 1 “Schons’s art is a standout; he draws spacesuits and SF gizmos well but doesn’t lose sight of the characters. . . . Moore introduces concepts and characters effectively with just a few text lines. . . . Basically The O.C. on the moon, Earthlight’s situations are still universal and appealing for a YA audience.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Best known as the mastermind of the Surrealist movement and as the author of the dream-logic fiction Nadja, Breton was also a brilliant poet. Written to friends and fellow Surrealists such as Pablo Picasso, Andre Derain and Max Ernst, the poems in this collection date from 1919-1936 spanning Breton's involvement with Dadaism and his founding and development of Surrealism. The range of poetic forms, from the early collage compositions to the Five Dreams' of Earthlight and the incantatory love poem 'Free Union', reveals Breton's compositional methods and styles.'

A Study of the Earthlight on the Moon

ISBN:
Category : Albedo
Languages : en
Pages : 220

Book Description
The observational theoretical and empirical problems of determining the contribution of earthlight to the night-time illumination on the moon have been considered in detail. A photographic survey program to determine the absolute intensity of the earthlight portion of the moon is described. An empirical phase curve relating the mean magnitude difference between the earth and the sun has been derived from visual photometry measurements. The problems of predicting the albedo of the earth as well as predicting the mean albedo of specific location on the lunar surface are reviewed. Theoretical and empirical determinations of the photometric function of the lunar surface are discussed. Tables and graphs of relative surface brightness under earthlight are presented for a number of locations on the moon. These include information about nine APOLLO sites as well as locations every 5 deg. of longitude and latitude between plus or minus 50 deg. longitude and latitude. The tables are for zero libration. Although the tables and graphs have been compiled under simplifying assumptions; instructions for making the necessary corrections to specific situations are discussed.
