When the Universe Knocks at Your Door: How Planets, Stars and Other Cosmic Objects Affect Our Daily Lives

By Irina Mullins

Our Universe is the place where the hostile environment of interplanetary and interstellar space exists along with livable planets. It is the place where massive stars end their lives in powerful destructive explosions, giving away building material for new stars, planets and any life forms that might emerge on those planets. When we ponder about the ways the Universe can affect our lives, we usually think of such cataclysmic events as blasts from supernovae or asteroid impacts. However, the Universe "touches" our planet in less dramatic ways on a daily basis. Written for the general public, this book answers questions about some interesting celestial objects and cosmic events that affect our lives and our planet on a regular and not-so-regular basis.
