Mysterious universe - a handbook of astronomical anomalies

MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE is of one of the six original anomaly handbooks published by The Sourcebook Project. The handbooks provide an objective, unsensationalized compilation of anomalous phenomena, difficult to explain observations, and curiosities of nature in the fields of astronomy, biology, archeology, geophysics, and geology. The primary objective of MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE is to present a wide selection of reliable descriptions of unusual astronomical phenomena. To meet this goal, Mr. Corliss analyzed hundreds of volumes of astronomical journals as well as the complete files of NATURE and SCIENCE. The result of this research is an incomparable collection of information on the frontiers of astronomy. Some of the topics covered include The Lost Satellite of Venus * Transient Lunar Phenomena * Ephemeral Earth Satellites * Venus” Radial Spoke System * Relativity Contradicted * Cosmological Paradoxes * Changes in Light’s Velocity * Vulcan; the IntraMercurial Planet * Knots on Saturn’s Rings * Bright Objects Near the Sun * The Sun’s Problematic “Companion Star” * “Sedimentary” Meteorites * Life Chemistry in Outer Space * and Planet Positions and Sunspots. MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE contains 100+ illustrations and was favorably reviewed as a NATURE Astronomy Book Club Selection.
