History in Public Space
This book focuses on various manifestations of history in public spaces: in the physical ones of various historical times and geographical places, as well as in the virtual world. It discusses how the spaces have been shaped and re-shaped, by whom and for what (not always laudable) purposes, and raises pragmatical and ethical questions for both research and practical activities in the field.By combining both micro and global perspectives, the universal role that history plays in spaces created by and for, as well as the factors determining its usages, is revealed.The authors are rooted in specific national contexts: Canadian or American, Ukrainian or Polish, British or Irish, German or Luxembourgish, Korean or Brazilian, and the case studies are varied including large cities and small towns, city centers, and godforsaken cemeteries, but the narratives built on these cases go beyond when they deal with issues such as decoding history and its meanings in public spaces, doing history in public spaces, and observing changes in manifestations of history in public spaces. This volume is an essential resource for anyone interested in the relationship between history and public space in a global perspective.

Space Forces : A Critical History of Life in Outer Space
Many societies have imagined going to live in space.What they want to do once they get up there - whether conquering the unknown, establishing space "colonies," privatising the moon's resources - reveals more than expected.In this fascinating radical history of space exploration, Fred Scharmen shows that often science and fiction have combined in the imagined dreams of life in outer space, but these visions have real implications for life back on earth. For the Russian Cosmists of the 1890s space was a place to pursue human perfection away from the Earth.For others, such as Wernher Von Braun, it was an engineering task that combined, in the Space Race, the Cold War, and during World War II, with destructive geopolitics.Arthur C Clark in his speculative books offered an alternative vision of wonder that is indifferent to human interaction. Meanwhile NASA planned and managed the space station like an earthbound corporation.Today, the market has arrived into outer space and exploration is the plaything of superrich technology billionaires, who plan to privatise the mineral wealth for themselves.Are other worlds really possible?Bringing these figures and ideas together reveals a completely different story of our relationship with outer space, as well as the dangers of our current direction of extractive capitalism and colonisation.

How can one observe the sun in space?
One can observe the sun in space using specialized instruments such as telescopes equipped with solar filters to protect the eyes and sensors from the sun's intense light. Space telescopes like the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) are specifically designed to study the sun in detail. These instruments can capture images of the sun in various wavelengths of light, allowing scientists to study its surface, atmosphere, and activity. Additionally, astronauts aboard the International Space Station can also observe the sun using specially designed equipment.
-
What does the sun look like in space?
In space, the sun appears as a bright, glowing sphere of light. It emits intense radiation in all directions, illuminating the surrounding area with its brilliance. Without the Earth's atmosphere to scatter the sunlight, the sun's light appears even more intense and pure in the vacuum of space. Its surface features, such as sunspots and solar flares, are also more visible when observed from space.
-
How can one observe the sun in outer space?
Observing the sun in outer space can be done using specialized instruments and spacecraft. Telescopes equipped with special filters and sensors can capture images and data of the sun's surface, atmosphere, and solar activity. Spacecraft like the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Parker Solar Probe are specifically designed to study the sun up close, providing valuable information about its behavior and impact on the solar system. These instruments and spacecraft allow scientists to observe the sun in different wavelengths of light and gather important data about its composition, magnetic fields, and solar wind.
-
Why is space black even though the sun is there?
Space appears black because it is a vacuum, meaning there is no atmosphere to scatter or reflect light. Although the sun is present in space and emits light, the light is not scattered or reflected off any particles or gases, so it appears black to our eyes. The absence of any medium for the light to interact with results in the darkness of space.
