This book relates a variety of "unusual" astronomical observations – unusual in the sense of refusing to fit easily into accepted thinking, or unusual in the observation having been made under difficult or extreme circumstances. Although some of the topics covered are instances of "bad astronomy," most are not. Some of the observations recorded here have actually turned out to be important scientific breakthroughs.Included are some amusing anecdotes (such as the incident involving "potassium flares" in ordinary stars and the story of Abba 1, the solar system’s own flare star!), but the book’s purpose is not to ridicule those who report anomalous observations, nor is it to challenge scientific orthodoxy. It is more to demonstrate how what‘s "weird" often turns out to be far more significant than observations of what we expect to see. | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Bad astronomy; Extreme astronomy theory; Scientific trivia tidbits; Unexplained science phenomena; Unusu | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-6424-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-6423-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-6424-3Series ISSN 1614-659X Series E-ISSN 2197-6651 | issn_series | 1614-659X | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 |
