SEVIGNY MELISSA L
Under Desert Skies: How Tucson Mapped The Way To The Moon And Planets
Sentinel Peak Books: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. President Kennedy's announcement that an American would walk on the Moon before the end of the 1960s took the scientific world by surprise. The study of the Moon and planets had long fallen out of favor with astronomers: they were the stuff of science fiction not science. An upstart planetary laboratory in Tucson would play a vital role in the nation's grand new venture and in doing so it would help create the field of planetary science. Founded by Gerard P. Kuiper in 1960 the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory LPL at the University of Arizona broke free from traditional astronomical techniques to embrace a wide range of disciplines necessary to the study of planets including geology atmospheric sciences and the elegant emerging technology of spacecraft. Brash optimistic young students crafted a unique sense of camaraderie in the fledgling institution. Driven by curiosity and imagination LPL scientists lived through�and indeed made happen�the shattering transition in which Earth's nearest neighbors became more than simple points of light in the sky. Under Desert Skies tells the story of how a small corner of Arizona became Earth's ambassador to space. From early efforts to reach the Moon to the first glimpses of Mars's bleak horizons and Titan's swirling atmosphere to the latest ambitious plans to touch an asteroid LPL's history encompasses humanity's unfolding knowledge about our place in the universe. Melissa L. Sevigny grew up in Tucson Arizona with a deep love of the geology ecology and the clear desert skies of the Southwest. She is the science and technology reporter for KNAU Arizona Public Radio in Flagstaff. Minor Planet 15624 Lamberton is named in her honor. "Through a series of engaging interviews Melissa Sevigny guides her readers on an amazing journey of solar system exploration in a way that captures the pioneering spirit of the Lunar and Planetary Lab's researchers. It is a must-read for anybody interested in humanity's quest to understand our origins and place in the universe." �Dante Lauretta Professor of Planetary Science University of Arizona "A fascinating story of how a small university department became a major powerhouse in our exploration of the solar system and of how our knowledge of the solar system blossomed with the space age." �Derek Sears Space Science and Astrobiology Division NASA Ames Research Center "Under Desert Skies tells the story of how early pioneers like Gerard Kuiper and Ewen Whitaker helped America succeed in the quest for the Moon and encouraged following generations of space scientists to unlock the secrets of the solar system." �Alan Fischer Planetary Science Institute Under Desert Skies 184 Pages 6 x 9 Published: 2016 Paperback Sentinel Peak Books: 2016 paperback
