In Placing Outer Space Lisa Messeri traces how the place-making
practices of planetary scientists transform the void of space into
a cosmos filled with worlds that can be known and explored. Making
planets into places is central to the daily practices and
professional identities of the astronomers, geologists, and
computer scientists Messeri studies. She takes readers to the Mars
Desert Research Station and a NASA research center to discuss ways
scientists experience and map Mars. At a Chilean observatory and in
MIT's labs she describes how they discover exoplanets and envision
what it would be like to inhabit them. Today's planetary science
reveals the universe as densely inhabited by evocative worlds,
which in turn tells us more about Earth, ourselves, and our place
in the universe.
