Recent discoveries of planet-like objects circling other sun-like
stars have stirred enormous interest in what other planets may
exist in the universe, and whether they could support intelligent
life. This book takes us into the midst of this search for
extrasolar planets. Unlike other books, it focuses on the people
behind the searches -- many known personally by the author -- and
the extraordinary technology that is currently on the drawing
boards. The author is an experienced, award-winning science
journalist who was previously technology correspondent for the
Financial Times of London. He has written on many topics in
astronomy and astrobiology in over 35 different newspapers and
magazines worldwide.
