In the twilight of a century marked by many frustrated quests to find other solar systems, astronomers have at last discovered a rich crop of mammoth, Jupiter-sized gas planets orbiting suns like ours in solar systems that may well harbour other "earths." Alan Boss guides readers into the realm of research, examining how these explorers have profoundly altered our view of the universe.
ALAN BOSS is a research scientist and NASA adviser at the prestigious Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., and has long been one of the world's leading figures in the search for extrasolar planets. His gift for clarifying complex scientific issues for a lay audience has led to articles in Scientific American, Nature, and Physics Today. He has also been quoted regularly in front-page articles in the New York Times and the Washington Post, as well as in Time.
