Résumé

Immerse yourself on an interstellar journey through "A Story of More than 5000 Worlds'' as it explores the fascinating story of celestial discovery and the enduring quest of researchers and scientists to find life beyond Earth. This comprehensive book navigates the intricacies of star and planet formation, shedding light on the enigmatic life cycle of stars like our Sun to pulsars and black holes and the dynamic processes that define the fate of planets.
Marvel at the ingenuity of exoplanet detection methods, from the accurate detection of stellar wobbles to the precise monitoring of starlight dimming during transits, and peer into the future with innovative techniques that take advantage of the deformation or curvature of the space-time caused by massive objects. The classification of these distant worlds from rocky planets to gas giants lays the groundwork for the book's climax: the search for life.
Exploring biosignatures and technosignatures, from the organic and chemical traces of potential life, to the echoes of advanced technological civilizations, this book expands our understanding of the dynamicity of the universe and our place within it. It's an invitation to ponder humanity's greatest question - are we alone? - while navigating through the Drake Equation and other Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) concepts, and the silence that has prompted ideas like the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter. The book, in addition to acting as an engaging read for anyone interested in these subjects and given the number of topics included and the breadth of the discussions, could also be used as a complementary textbook for students at both high school and non-science bachelor levels, in introductory or fundamental astronomy courses.
