Exoplanets簡介，目錄書摘
Exoplanets are globes that orbit a star outside our solar system. There are thousands scattered throughout the Milky Way galaxy， and scientists are on a constant quest to find one just like Earth—with the possibility of life on it. For over fifty years， scientists have been working on detecting alien life and understanding what it would mean to find life outside Earth. After reading this book， you will not see the starry sky the same way without wondering what is beyond our solar system.
With clear， simple text and stunning full-color photographs， award-winning science writer Seymour Simon explores the Milky Way galaxy and brings to light the many interesting exoplanets scattered throughout our universe.
