What happens to space and matter near a black hole? Where did the
moon come from? How do we know what stars are made of? Are we alone
in the universe? In Exploding Stars and Invisible Planets, Fred
Watson, an award-winning astronomer, presents the most up-to-date
knowledge on hot topics in astronomy and space science, providing a
fascinating and entertaining account of the latest research. Watson
explains how to find invisible planets around other stars, why dark
matter matters, and the future of citizen space travel, all while
recounting the seismic shifts in understanding that have taken
place during his illustrious career. The book features illuminating
discussions of microbes in space; the dividing line between day and
night; exploding stars and light echoes; fast radio bursts and
signals from space; meteors, meteorites, and space dust; what
happened to the Martian ocean; the seas and lakes of Titan; and the
birth of the universe.
