Overview

Are we alone in the universe-or one voice among countless worlds? For thousands of years, humanity has looked to the stars with wonder. Today, we know that the night sky is full of planets: more than 5000 have already been discovered, each stranger than the last. Some burn with seas of molten rock. Others drift alone in the dark. A few lie in the habitable zones of their stars, where liquid water-and perhaps life-may exist. Infinite Universe: A Journey Through 5000 Unknown Worlds takes you on a voyage across science and imagination. From ancient myths to the latest discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope, this book explores how we found these distant worlds, how scientists search for signs of life, and what these discoveries mean for our own place in the cosmos. The history of humanity's curiosity about the night sky The methods astronomers use to detect exoplanets Remarkable discoveries: lava planets, water worlds, and rogue planets The search for extraterrestrial life and the paradox of silence The future of exploration beyond the Solar System At once scientific and deeply human, this book is an invitation to wonder.
