Habitable Worlds around Distant Stars
by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.
Description
This eBook provides an in-depth account of past and present efforts to find habitable worlds beyond our solar system on extrasolar planets, or planets that belong to a star other than the Sun. With growing evidence of exoplanets, astronomers are working to validate the hypothesis that planet formation is a normal part of stellar evolution. This eBook ultimately describes how astronomers are detecting planets around distant stars. Special attention is given to the role of NASA's space-based, exoplanet observatories, such as the Kepler Space Telescope and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
