Thirty years ago the only planets we knew were the ones orbiting
our own sun; we now know of thousands of other worlds orbiting
distant stars. In this book astronomer Niall Deacon journeys to
twenty of these globes: from giant, blisteringly hot planets
orbiting close to their parent stars to frozen planets that float
through space alone, and from dead stars shredding asteroids to
worlds made of diamond and even planets that may be similar to the
Earth. Deacon also takes in the latest exoplanet discoveries, and
explains how astronomers have come to learn so much about these
strange and distant worlds. Twenty Worlds tells a sweeping story,
of real planets around other stars, and appeals to the wide
audience for popular science and astronomy.
