Deskripsi Buku :
He takes the reader on a four-century-long scientific quest to
discover our place in the universe, beginning with the Copernican
hypothesis and Galileo's discovery of four of Jupiter's planets. . . .
An exciting, highly readable glimpse into a discovery that could have
broad scientific and cultural implications.
“With the seemingly
endless stream of news about discoveries of alien planets, it's easy to
forget that just 20 years ago exoplanets were no more than theoretical
possibilities. Now astronomer Ray Jayawardhana tells the story of how
the dramatic hunt has unfolded, from the early days of stellar astronomy
to present-day speculation about life outside our solar system.” -- New
Scientist
“Professor Jayawardhana is an award-winning science
writer and an eminent planet-hunter, and so is the perfect person to
write an accessible guidebook to the new worlds we're discovering in our
galaxy. He explains how many of those discovered so far are pretty
exotic, bloated and massive or scorchingly close to their sun, and how
we've even had our first weather report for another world. But what's
most exciting is that this book explains how we now have within our
grasp the ability to spot a true twin of Earth.” -- BBC Focus
