Paperback. Condition: New. From prehistoric times, mankind has looked up at the night sky, and puzzled at the changing positions of the stars. How far away they are is a question that has confounded scientists for centuries. Over the last few hundred years, many scientific careers - and considerable resources - have been devoted to measuring their positions and motions with ever increasing accuracy. And in the last two decades of the 20th century, the European Space Agency developed and launched the Hipparcos satellite, around which this account revolves, to carry out these exacting measurements from space.What has prompted these remarkable developments? Why have governments been persuaded to fund them? What are scientists learning from astronomy's equivalent of the Human Genome Project? This book traces the subject's history, explains why such enormous efforts are considered worthwhile, and interweaves these with a first-hand insight into the Hipparcos project, and how big science is conducted at an international level. The involvement of amateur astronomers, and the Hipparcos contributions to climate research, 'death stars' passing close to the Sun, and the search for extra-solar planets and even intelligent life itself, are some of the surprising facets of this unusual space mission.…

It highlights planned space experiments during the years 2005-2015, which promised many new detections and significant statistical insights. These include the discovery of hundreds of terrestrial-type planets through transit measurements and thousands of Jupiter-mass planets via astrometric methods. The report also touches on future groundbreaking projects, such as Darwin/TPF missions and the OWL observatory, aiming for the direct detection of Earth-mass planets in habitable zones. Longer-term visions like the 'Life Finder' and 'Earth Imager' projects are discussed as aspirational goals for exploring life beyond Earth. This comprehensive document provides a summary of advancements and offers recommendations to foster growth in the field, as compiled by Working Group experts between June and December 2004.The book will be carefully packaged to ensure safe transport during shipment.
