Stars Above, Earth Below uses photographs and sky charts to form a connection between what is seen on the ground and in the sky, and looks at the deeper scientific meaning behind these sights. Nordgren describes other objects in the Solar System with features similar to those on Earth and links the geological features seen in the national parks to the very latest NASA spacecraft discoveries on other planets and their moons. Additionally, historical context is discussed to show why we humans (who have lived in and around our national parts for tens of thousands of years) have always been astronomers. The first book to make direct connections between astronomy and the landscapes, processes and cultures one experiences in the US National Parks Each chapter ties a specific astronomical phenomenon to a particular National Park or type of park and concludes with a “See for yourself” section that shows you how to see the planets, stars, nebulae, moons, etc. that are described within that chapter A personal guide showing the reader the astronomical phenomena that you can see for yourself when visiting the U.S. National ParksProduct IdentifiersPublisherSpringerISBN-101441916482ISBN-139781441916488eBay Product ID (ePID)81759754Product Key FeaturesAuthorTyler NordgrenPublication NameStars Above, Earth below : a Guide to Astronomy in the National ParksFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishSeriesSpringer Praxis Bks.Publication Year2010TypeTextbookNumber of PagesXii, 444 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.5in.Item Width6.7in.Length9.5in.Item Weight33.2 OzAdditional Product FeaturesNumber of Volumes1 Vol.Lc Classification NumberQ162ReviewsFrom the reviews: A photo essay on a years-long journey to see the natural wonders of dark skies over America’s most beautiful landscapes … and visions of future exploration of the planets — Stars Above, Earth Below is all of these. … Nordgren’s text is accompanied by a truly exorbitant number of photos and diagrams … .
