Astronomy, in particular, is one of the most misunderstood scientific disciplines. With the participation of thousands of undergraduate students, Neil F. Comins has identified and classified, by origin and topic, over 1,700 commonly held misconceptions. Heavenly Errors provides access to all of them and explores many, including: Black holes suck in everything around them. The Sun shines by burning gas.• Comets have tails trailing behind them. The Moon alone causes tides. Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is the hottest planet. In the course of correcting these errors, he explains that some occur through the prevalence of pseudosciences such as astrology and UFO-logy and some enter the public conscience through the "bad astronomy" of Star Trek, Star Wars, and other science-fiction movies.. Perhaps most important, Professor Comins presents the reader with the methods for identifying and replacing incorrect ideas-tools with which to probe erroneous notions so that we can begin to question for ourselves... and to think more like scientists. 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aCommon fallacies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aCommon fallacies. 676 $a520 700 $aComins$b Neil F.$f1951-$0753974 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455009903321 996 $aHeavenly errors$92479289 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03001nam 2200469 450 001 9910809182803321 005 20230124201059.0 010 $a1-5231-2347-8 010 $a1-118-99864-2 010 $a1-118-99872-3 010 $a1-118-99863-4 035 $a(CKB)4330000000007907 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5434388 035 $a(EXLCZ)994330000000007907 100 $a20180630d2018 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDrilling engineering problems and solutions $ea field guide for engineers and students /$fM.
