Nespoli Paolo
Dall'alto i problemi sembrano più piccoli. Lezioni di vita imparate dallo Spazio
br. Paolo Nespoli ha trascorso, nell'arco di tre missioni, quasi un anno nello Spazio. E da lassù, vivendo in assenza di gravità, in situazioni di emergenza, osservando la Terra dall'alto, ha rivalutato alcune cose della nostra vita di tutti i giorni. In questo libro racconta a noi che stiamo a terra le lezioni che lo Spazio gli ha insegnato, con entusiasmo e chiarezza, ironia e poesia. Perché i sogni vanno coltivati con cura, ma a un certo punto, se si vogliono realizzare davvero, bisogna svegliarsi.

Nespoli Paolo
Dall'alto i problemi sembrano più piccoli. Lezioni di vita imparate dallo Spazio
ill., ril. Paolo Nespoli ha trascorso circa sei mesi nello Spazio. E da lassù, vivendo in assenza di gravità, in situazioni di emergenza, guardando la Terra dall'alto, ha capito alcune cose della nostra vita di tutti i giorni. In questo libro l'astronauta italiano racconta a noi che stiamo a terra le lezioni che lo Spazio gli ha insegnato. Con entusiasmo e chiarezza, con ironia e poesia. In orbita (e nella lunga e severa formazione da astronauta) Nespoli ha imparato nozioni pratiche e filosofiche. Vivendo in assenza di gravità, ha imparato ad assumere nuove abitudini, saper tornare bambino per apprendere di nuovo a vivere in una realtà in cui anche gli aspetti più scontati sono diversi dal solito. Costretto sempre al massimo della performance, ha imparato a lavorare in squadra, a gestire gli imprevisti, a ottimizzare il tempo, a riconoscere i propri limiti e fare tesoro dei propri errori. Ha imparato che i sogni vanno coltivati con cura, ma che a un certo punto, se si vogliono realizzare davvero, bisogna svegliarsi. Che se si guarda sempre avanti, se si punta sempre in alto, le stelle non sono poi così lontane. Mentre era sulla stazione spaziale, Nespoli ha comunicato con migliaia di "terrestri" attraverso i social network, trasmettendo informazioni, emozioni, e incantandoci con le sue meravigliose foto scattate da lassù. A volte bastano alcune immagini, selezionate e riproposte in questo libro, per capire con una vertigine come cambiano le cose osservate da un altro punto di vista.

Newcomb Visited Paris France In 1870 Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris He Realized That In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672 And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878 Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light Using A Refinement Of The Method Of Léon Foucault.

In 1881 Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law Formulating The Principle That In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit. In 1891 Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel.

He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Hostility To C. S. Pierce And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight. Source: Wikipedia. Albert A. Michelson 1852-1931 Performed Early Measurements Of The Velocity Of Light With Amazing Delicacy And In 1881 He Invented His Interferometer For The Purpose Of Discovering The Effect Of The Earth's Motion On The Observed Velocity. In Cooperation With Professor E.W. Morley And Using The Interferometer It Was Shown That Light Travels At A Constant Speed In All Inertial Systems Of Reference. The Instrument Also Enabled Distances To Be Measured With Greater Accuracy By Means Of The Length Of Light-Waves. At The Request Of The International Committee Of Weights And Measures Michelson Measured The Standard Metre In Terms Of Wavelength Of Cadmium Light. He Invented The Echelon Spectroscope And During His Wartime Service In The Navy He Performed Research Work On Devices For Naval Use - He Developed A Rangefinder Which Was Adapted As Part Of U.S. Navy Equipment. On His Return To Civilian Life Michelson Became More Interested In Astronomy And In 1920 Using Light Interference And A Highly Developed Version Of His Earlier Instrument He Measured The Diameter Of The Star Betelgeuse: This Was The First Determination Of The Size Of A Star That Could Be Regarded As Accurate.
