be a similar eclipse until 2044 so don’t miss this one!<o:p></o:p></p>

To quote from our source, Infrared astronomy is </p><blockquote><p>“The field of astronomical observations specializing in detecting photons from the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared astronomy plays an important role particularly in the study of cooler astrophysical objects, ranging from asteroids and comets to exoplanets and developing stars. These objects emit brightly in the infrared, although they may be veiled by clouds of dust that conceal their presence at shorter, optical wavelengths. Infrared astronomy thus affords researchers an opportunity to study phenomena that would go unseen if relying on just visible light”</p></blockquote><p>The question, and answer, were found in AccessScience. This is the online version of the standard encyclopedia with updated science and technology news, biographies, learning resources, study guides, and links to related web sites. The particular article referenced was: </p><p>Bhattacharya, Bidushi. “Infrared astronomy.” AccessScience, McGraw Hill, Feb. 2019.</p><p>Find AccessScience on the library’s <a href="https://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework">Research & Homework</a> page under “A” and access it with your library card.</p><div><br /></div>Arroyo Seco Regional Branch Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12696647099448111945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190741947245750007.post-77705203567604414082024-02-19T10:00:00.000-08:002024-02-19T10:00:00.130-08:00Hella<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjHXSZlUkXMT5dkMS1qTNu65VJFQrlEukWqYbZXv1F36EJ1YHc5rVgiODY5lV5GQmrQzvm9GMxCsBbYIBn1wO9C5ga1VBAZcyn31c2zcBeHVX008VAoRnWgH82JT61EBgN3kGwSaLko8itFS0uBd3D8OEQyzLQ-NH_Dcb3DKZLkVUTFFZlhSQKaiMsus/s199/Capture.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="131" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjHXSZlUkXMT5dkMS1qTNu65VJFQrlEukWqYbZXv1F36EJ1YHc5rVgiODY5lV5GQmrQzvm9GMxCsBbYIBn1wO9C5ga1VBAZcyn31c2zcBeHVX008VAoRnWgH82JT61EBgN3kGwSaLko8itFS0uBd3D8OEQyzLQ-NH_Dcb3DKZLkVUTFFZlhSQKaiMsus/s1600/Capture.PNG" width="131" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>In <a href="https://ls2pac.lapl.org/?section=resource&resourceid=2547123848">Hella</a> by David Gerrold you will find inventive Science Fiction world building, both the building of a literal alien world where our story takes place and the building of the social world of our colonists a world that is obviously answering to some of the social justice issues present in our own world today.</p><p>The story takes place on the planet of Hella. This planet has a slightly lower gravity then Earth, meaning its plant and animal life is enormous --- think dinosaur world. It also has an extreme tilt so the colonists must migrate between summer and winter sites. The colonists are getting by when a ship, with a meddling AI, from an Earth that has pretty much collapsed, arrives while simultaneously local politics turns ugly. </p><p>The book is a fascinating read for its world building. Hella and its plant and animal life are very interesting and keep you engaged. The social world building falls a little flat for me but you do have to give the author credit for trying and it gives you the chance to muse over what changes you would make in setting up a similar scenario. All in all I recommend the book to anyone interested in a good SF adventure.</p><div><br /></div>Arroyo Seco Regional Branch Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12696647099448111945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190741947245750007.post-76139328182525489142024-02-18T10:00:00.000-08:002024-02-18T10:00:00.132-08:00Programming Coming up This Week<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: #2b00fe;">Please note that the library will be closed in celebration of Presidents’ Day on Monday 2/19.</b></span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Find the in person programs at our branch as well as a selection of the exciting, virtual programs offered by branches across the city during the remainder of the week below (programs in person at our branch unless otherwise noted).

This book, the first in a series, introduces us to Eli Monpress. Eli is a thief, and a wizard, and has the dream of having the highest ever bounty on his head. He travels with a swordsman and a girl with demonic powers. To increase his bounty he plots to steal a king but things go, as things will, awry.</p><p>I recommend the story for those who like a bit of wizarding fantasy and enjoy a good world building series.</p><div><br /></div>Arroyo Seco Regional Branch Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12696647099448111945noreply@blogger.com
