PDF-(EBOOK)-The Planet Factory: Exoplanets and the Search for a Second Earth

Twenty years ago the search for planetsand lifeoutside the solar system was a job restricted to science fiction writers It is now one of the most rapidly growing fields in astronomy with thousands of these exoplanets discovered so far The detection of these worlds has only been possible in the last decade with the number of discoveries increasing enormously over the last year following the findings of the Kepler Space Telescope These new worlds are more alien than anything in fiction Planets larger than Jupiter with years lasting one week planets circling the dead remains of stars others with two suns lighting their skies or with no sun at all These locations hint at Earthsized worlds but with split hemispheres of perpetual day and night waterworlds drowning under global oceans and volcanic lava planets spewing seas of magma The Planet Factory tells the story of exoplanets planets orbiting stars outside of our solar system Discover the specks of dust that circle a young star come together in a violent building project that can form colossal worlds hundreds of times the size of the Earth the changing orbits of young planets that risk dooming the life forming on neighboring worlds or alternatively that can deliver the key ingredients needed to seed its beginnings Exoplanets are one of the greatest construction schemes in the universe and they occur around nearly every star you see Each result is an alien landscape but is it possible that one of these could be like our own home The Planet Factory discusses the way these planets form their structure and features and describes in detail the detection techniques used there are many before looking at what we can learn about the surface environments and planetary atmospheres and whether this hints at the tantalizing possibility of life An informative and entertaining read The Planet Factory takes the reader to the cutting edge of the ongoing search for worlds like our own and the hints of life elsewhere in the cosmos.

Mercury At a Glance.. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and due to its proximity it is not easily seen except during twilight. For every two orbits of the Sun, Mercury completes three rotations about its axis and up until 1965 it was thought that the same side of Mercury constantly faced the Sun. Thirteen times a century Mercury can be observed from the Earth passing across the face of the Sun in an event called a transit, the next will occur on the 9th May 2016..
