At this point, more than five thousand such exoplanets have been identified, with the pace of discovery accelerating after the launch of NASAs Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the Webb Space Telescope. In <em>The Little Book of Exoplanets</em>, Princeton astrophysicist Joshua Winn offers a brief and engaging introduction to the search for exoplanets and the cutting-edge science behind recent findings. In doing so, he chronicles the dawn of a new age of discoveryone that has rapidly transformed astronomy and our broader understanding of the universe.</p><p>Scientists now know that many Sun-like stars host their own systems of planets, some of which may resemble our solar system and include planets similar to the Earth. But, Winn tells us, the most remarkable discoveries so far have been of planets with unexpected and decidedly un-Earth-like properties, which have upended what we thought we knew about the origins of planetary systems. Winn provides an inside view of the sophisticated detective work astronomers perform as they find and study exoplanets and describes the surprisingsometimes downright bizarreplanets and systems they have found. He explains how these discoveries are revolutionizing astronomy, and he explores the current status and possible future of the search for another Earth. Finally, drawing on his own and other scientists work, he considers how the discovery of exoplanets and their faraway solar systems changes our perspectives on the universe and our place in it.</p>...1809001The Little Book of Exoplanets320444https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-little-book-of-exoplanets/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1150601/cc670494-6fbe-4a84-bef0-1e52642f8428.jpg?v=638448966644030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239780691221175_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9780691221175_<p><strong>A concise and accessible introduction to exoplanets that explains the cutting-edge science behind recent discoveries</strong></p><p>For centuries, people have speculated about the possibility of planets orbiting distant stars, but only since the 1990s has technology allowed astronomers to detect them.
