Thomas Eversberg Bücher

Ein Jahrtausendereignis - ein technischer Triumph: Menschen waren auf dem Mond! Oder - und kann das überhaupt möglich sein? - sind wir einer Täuschung unterlegen? Einer politisch motivierten globalen Inszenierung, deren Bilder und Filme in einem Studio entstanden sind? (Aus dem Video-Trailer zum Buch) ‚Hollywood im Weltall‘ handelt von den Landungen der Amerikaner auf dem Mond - und von den seit vierzig Jahren bestehenden Zweifeln vieler Menschen, ob diese Landungen wirklich stattgefunden haben. Eversberg setzt sich mit den bekanntesten Lügen, Verschwörungstheorien und Bedrohungen auseinander und analysiert diese in vierfarbigen Detailaufnahmen und mit vielen vom Buch aus abrufbaren Filmsequenzen. Dabei geht er sowohl auf die ältesten gut bekannten, aber auch die aktuellsten Zweifel an der Mondlandung ein - und bietet Lesern aller Altersstufen so einen spannenden Krimi aus Physik, Politik und Geschichte.

This book is about the American moon-landings – and about the doubts expressed ever since concerning the reality of these landings. Were the images of men on the moon really just a huge and cleverly executed hoax? Eversberg explains the best-known claims and conspiracy theories, and analyses the evidence with the help of detailed full-colour images, as well as numerous film documents that can be accessed directly from the book. He addresses both the persistent older claims and more recently devised doubts. The book will inform and entertain a wide range of readers interested in space exploration and tells a gripping story covering physics, politics and history.

In order to analyze the light of cosmic objects, particularly at extremely great distances, spectroscopy is the workhorse of astronomy. In the era of very large telescopes, long-term investigations are mainly performed with small professional instruments. Today they can be done using self-designed spectrographs and highly efficient CCD cameras, without the need for large financial investments. This book explains the basic principles of spectroscopy, including the fundamental optical constraints and all mathematical aspects needed to understand the working principles in detail. It covers the complete theoretical and practical design of standard and Echelle spectrographs. Readers are guided through all necessary calculations, enabling them to engage in spectrograph design. The book also examines data acquisition with CCD cameras and fiber optics, as well as the constraints of specific data reduction and possible sources of error. In closing it briefly highlights some main aspects of the research on massive stars and spectropolarimetry as an extension of spectroscopy. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to spectroscopy for students of physics and astronomy, as well as a valuable resource for amateur astronomers interested in learning the principles of spectroscopy and spectrograph design.
