New Book Options

[lindamorabito]

Hello to everyone here at UMSF! I am very happy to announce my book "A Journey; Science Essays from the Leading Edge of Discovery" is out, now with a few reviews posted so far. There are a couple of unique things you may enjoy about this book.

"A Journey" is a compilation of the blogs I wrote on Facebook about Astronomy and Space Science news from February of 2010 to just about when the Higgs Boson find was announced by Cern scientists last month. Each post I made back then on Linda Morabito's Space Place on Facebook was paired with a space image of the type I enjoy. That amounts to about 600 such images. So, naturally this is an electronic book, and best displayed on the largest screen you own, like a computer.

We have learned so much through recent observations made by the great observatories and those on Earth using adaptive optics. I began to consider the nature of the finds and ended up writing the Morabito Meyer Sequential Universe Hypothesis, which came out of a thought experiment about what the nature of our observations might tell us about the origins of our universe and its fate. At some point I went looking for any cosmological model which fit my personal observations developed during the timeframe the posts were written. I found one I really like. Perhaps you will agree.

Look forward to your response and feedback on this Journey.

My best always to the great people here on UMSF!

Linda

Cool, Linda: we were just talking about you at JPL this very morning! Mike Malin agrees that Liliya Pasiolova on his imaging team deserves the honorary Linda Morabito award for spotting the six ballast slug impact sites from MSL. Not quite a volcano, but well-spotted nonetheless.
