Product Description
THE SUN AND SOLAR SYSTEM DEBRIS is one of 22 volumes in the Catalog of Anomalies published by The Sourcebook Project. The catalog provides an objective, unsensationalized compilation of anomalous phenomena, difficult to explain observations, and curiosities of nature in the fields of astronomy, biology, archeology, geophysics, and geology. This volume focuses on the plethora of small objects orbiting our Sun. These clouds of asteroids, comets, meteors, and space dust, which are considered to be "minor objects," pose major problems to astronomers regarding their origin and constitution. Some of the covered topics include Solar-System Resonances * Bode's Law * Comet Activity Far from the Sun * Unidentified Objects Crossing the Face of the Sun * The "Missing" Solar Neutrinos * Pendulum Phenomena during Solar Eclipses * Observations of Planet X * Meteorite-Distribution Anomalies * Lunar and Martian Meteorites * Long Fireball Processions * Long-Duration Meteors * and Zodiacal-Light Changes. THE SUN AND SOLAR SYSTEM DEBRIS contains 66 illustrations and intriguing accounts collected from references including the Astronomical Journal, English Mechanic, Icarus, Nature, New Scientist, Science, Royal Astronomical Society Journal, Popular Astronomy, and the Journal of Geophysical Research to name a few. Over 850 citations are included and indexed four ways, by Time-of-Event, First Author, Source, and Subject. The indexes are cross-referenced to each entry in the book to aid the reader in locating original source materials and conducting independent research.
