Product Description
The universe where we live is a vast volume with 'billions and billions' of galaxies in motion with many more billions of stars, their planets, moons, boulders and dust clouds.
Foremost, this book has factual up-to-date overview information of this unique, well-balanced, highly livable planet-Earth-system in the universe.
This book is written in 'plain English' to be easily read and understood. It has no mathematical formulas. It contains numerous, carefully-selected reputable Internet sites, all in the Public Domain with more current news and photographs than any printed book can have. Many sites in the text offer "on the spot" detailed scientific information, if desired.
The book outlines Earth's constitution from its center core to the top of its atmosphere; our Sun, its solar system with its nine (eight, 2006) planets, moons, asteroids, comets, meteor showers; the location of our solar system disk in our home galaxy, the disk-shaped Milky Way Galaxy; the location of the Milky Way among other near-by and far-away galaxies up to the edges of the known universe 13,700,000,000 light-years away.
This book puts our Solar System, the Milky Way and all other known and unknown galaxies 'into a bottle' so that the realities of the space around, above, and under us can be visualized. The described miniature 3-dimensional model contains all estimated 125 - 3,000 billion galaxies, and it is small enough to fit in many backyards. The model is literally The Real Overview Model of the entire universe.
The miniature model has 11,500 billion one cubic millimeter (paper) cubes. All cubes are stacked to form a 74-foot = 22.6-meter =22,600-millimeter conglomerate cube. Each face of the conglomerate cube looks like it has been draped with one-square-millimeter window screening.
This Earth is the only known livable 'Garden Spot' with its liquid water, breathable air, food to eat, reasonable temperatures, radiation and gravity. There is no other known heavenly body where the birds sing and where one can smell roses. This Earth is 'it'. Love it. Don't mess it up. Improve our Earth the little you can and keep it neat!
