New Worlds in the Cosmos（ISBN=9780521812078） fb2 免费 lrf 下载 kindle azw3 pdf 阿里云

With the discovery in 1995 of the first planet orbiting another

star, we know that planets are not unique to our own Solar System.

For centuries, humanity has wondered whether we are alone in the

Universe. We are now finally one step closer to knowing the answer.

The quest for exoplanets is an exciting one, because it holds the

possibility that one day we might find life elsewhere in the

Universe, born in the light of another sun. Written from the

perspective of one of the pioneers of this scientific adventure,

this exciting account describes the development of the modern

observing technique that has enabled astronomers to find so many

planets orbiting around other stars. It reveals the wealth of new

planets that have now been discovered outside our Solar System, and

what this means in terms of finding other life in the Universe.
