The debates led to significant new understandings of the constituents and processes occurring beyond Earths atmosphere, and often opened new research directions. Scientific speculations with their resultant debates have played an important role in the development and furthering of research in general. The book thus has broad intellectual importance in illustrating how science advances. The book includes debates in the subject areas of heliophysics (physics in the cosmic region that covers particles and magnetic fields flowing from the Sun), Earths moon, solar system asteroids and comets, and the origin of cosmic gamma-ray bursts. A final chapter describes two important and surprising early scientific discoveries that involved no debates. The target audience for this book includes (a) active and retired space scientists, (b) space enthusiasts, and (c) students as supplemental (or even prime) reading in an introductory astronomy and/or space science course. The topics of the debates and controversies, their resolutions, and their pointing to further research and understanding of nature are of both historical and contemporary interest, appeal, and value. 001484667 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 18, 2023). 001484667 650_0 $$aSpace sciences$$xHistory. 001484667 650_6 $$aSciences spatiales$$xHistoire. 001484667 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001484667 7001_ $$aLanzerotti, Louis J. 001484667 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031415973$$z9783031415975$$w(OCoLC)1390122544 001484667 830_0 $$aSpringer Praxis Bks. 001484667 852__ $$bebk 001484667 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-41598-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001484667 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1484667$$pGLOBAL_SET 001484667 980__ $$aBIB 001484667 980__ $$aEBOOK 001484667 982__ $$aEbook 001484667 983__ $$aOnline 001484667 994__ $$a92$$bISE
