"How do alien, faraway worlds reveal their existence to Earthlings? As an experienced astronomer and a gifted storyteller, he is the perfect person to chronicle the ongoing hunt for planets of other stars." --Dava SobelAstronomers have recently discovered thousands of planets that orbit stars throughout our Milky Way galaxy. Let Donald Goldsmith count the ways.
The sizes, masses, and orbits of exoplanets detected so far raise new questions With his characteristic wit and style, Donald Goldsmith presents the science of exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life in a way that Earthlings with little background in astronomy or astrophysics can understand and enjoy.Much of what has captured the imagination of planetary scientists and the public is the unexpected strangeness of these distant worlds, which bear little resemblance to the planets in our solar system.
