Planetary Systems: A Very Short Introduction Pierrehumbert Raymond T.
Not long ago, the Solar System was the only example of a planetary system - a star and the bodies orbiting it - that we knew. The book takes the reader on a journey through the grand sweep of time, from the moment galaxies begin to form after the Big Bang to trillions of years in the future when the Universe will be a dilute soup of dim galaxies populated mostly by red dwarf stars. Now, we know thousands of planetary systems, and have even been able to observe planetary systems at the moment of their birth.This Very Short Introduction explores this new frontier, incorporating the latest research.
Pierrehumbert introduces the latest insights gained from a new generation of telescopes that catch planetary systems at the moment of formation, and to the theoretical advances that attempt to make sense of these observations. Throughout, Raymond T. He explains how the elements
