图书描述

Soon astronomers expect to find alien Earths by the dozens in orbit around distant suns. Before the decade is out, telltale signs that they harbor life may be found. If they are, the ramifications for all areas of human thought and endeavor - from religion and philosophy to art and biology - will be breathtaking. In "Strange New Worlds", renowned astronomer Ray Jayawardhana brings news from the front lines of the epic quest to find planets - and alien life - beyond our solar system. Only in the past fifteen years, after millennia of speculation, have astronomers begun to discover planets around other stars - hundreds in fact. But the hunt to find a true Earth-like world goes on. In this book, Jayawardhana vividly recounts the stories of the scientists and the remarkable breakthroughs that have ushered in this extraordinary age of exploration. He describes the latest findings - including his own - that are challenging our view of the cosmos and casting new light on the origins and evolution of planets and planetary systems. He reveals how technology is rapidly advancing to support direct observations of Jupiter-like gas giants and super-Earths - rocky planets with several times the mass of our own planet - and how astronomers use biomarkers to seek possible life on other worlds. "Strange New Worlds" provides an insider's look at the cutting-edge science of today's planet hunters, our prospects for discovering alien life, and the debates and controversies at the forefront of extrasolar-planet research.

一本很薄的书涵盖了Astrobiology这门信息量极大的学科的方方面面，其结果就是广而不精，虽然这本书主要侧重于各种行星以及类行星天体的新发现，但即使在这方面依然是蜻蜓点水，且作者本人思维跳跃性很高。对于已经拥有相当天文、物理、地理和生物学知识，对Astrobiology感兴趣，尤其是希望了解这方面最新进展的人来说，这是一本不错的辅助读物。
