On les avait crus fous quand ils ont parlé de leur projet, et pourtant ils ont réussi l'impossible : accomplir le premier tour du monde en avion solaire. Suivis par des millions de supporters, Bertrand Piccard et André Borschberg ont parcouru 43 000 km sans une goutte de carburant. En treize ans d'espoirs et de doutes, de succès et de revers, ils n'ont jamais cessé de croire à la force de leur rêve. Ce livre est leur histoire, une ode à l'esprit pionnier. Le destin de deux hommes très différents, leur amitié et leur rivalité. Comme il n'y avait qu'un seul siège dans l'avion, ils ont dû apprendre à partager - les vols, les efforts, les larmes et la gloire. L'énergie solaire les a portés. L'aventure humaine emportera le lecteur dans les émotions d'un rêve à la Jules Verne au service d'une meilleure qualité de vie sur cette planète. Lorsque Solar Impulse achève son tour du monde à Abou Dhabi, le 26 juillet 2016, Bertrand Piccard et André Borschberg entrent dans la légende.

For more than 50 years now Sir Patrick Moore has presented the BBC Television series Sky at Night; not a month has been missed – a record for any television series, and a record which may never be broken. Every three years or so a book is published covering the main events in both astronomy and space research. This is the 13th volume, not only a record of the programmes but also of the great advances and discoveries during the period covered - eclipses, comets, and the strange chemical lakes of Titan, for instance, but also anniversaries such as the fifteenth “birthday” of the Hubble Space Telescope, and not forgetting the programme celebrating the Sky at Night’s 50th year, attended by astronaut Piers Sellars and many others who appeared on the programme over the years. All the chapters are self-contained, and fully illustrated. In this new Sky at Night book you will find much to entertain you. It will appeal to amateurs and professionals alike.

In Stars Above, Earth Below, Tyler Nordgren examines a range of astronomical topics and makes the connection between them and the landscapes, processes, and cultures which can be seen and experienced within specific U.S. National Parks. For each park and topic the story unfolds in three steps: what does the reader see for him - or herself? What is the scientific cause or explanation of what is seen? And finally, what is the big picture about ourselves, our world, and our Universe? The author takes us the length and breadth of the U.S., from the coast of Maine to the Yellowstone volcano, from the depths of the Grand Canyon to the heights of the Rocky Mountains, exploring the natural links between the features of the parks and those of our Universe.
