Ever since the serendipitous discovery of planet Uranus in 1871,
astronomers have been hunting for new worlds in the outer regions
of our solar system. This exciting and ongoing quest culminated
recently in the discovery of hundreds of ice dwarfs in the Kuiper
belt, robbed Pluto from its planet status, and led to a better
understanding of the origin of the solar system.
This timely book reads like a scientific who done it, going from
the heights of discovery to the depths of disappointment in the
hunt for Planet X . Based on many personal interviews with
astronomers, the well-known science writer Govert Schilling
introduces the heroes in the race to be the first in finding
another world, bigger than Pluto."
