PDF-(EBOOK)-From Dust to Life: The Origin and Evolution of Our Solar System

The remarkable story of how our solar system came to beThe birth and evolution of our solar system is a tantalizing mystery that may one day provide answers to the question of human origins This book tells the remarkable story of how the celestial objects that make up the solar system arose from common beginnings billions of years ago and how scientists and philosophers have sought to unravel this mystery down through the centuries piecing together the clues that enabled them to deduce the solar systems layout its age and the most likely way it formedDrawing on the history of astronomy and the latest findings in astrophysics and the planetary sciences John Chambers and Jacqueline Mitton offer the most uptodate and authoritative treatment of the subject available They examine how the evolving universe set the stage for the appearance of our Sun and how the nebulous cloud of gas and dust that accompanied the young Sun eventually became the planets comets moons and asteroids that exist today They explore how each of the planets acquired its unique characteristics why some are rocky and others gaseous and why one planet in particularour Earthprovided an almost perfect haven for the emergence of lifeFrom Dust to Life is a mustread for anyone who desires to know more about how the solar system came to be This enticing book takes readers to the very frontiers of modern research engaging with the latest controversies and debates It reveals how ongoing discoveries of fardistant extrasolar planets and planetary systems are transforming our understanding of our own solar systems astonishing history and its possible fate.
