Book Synopsis



De la mano de Lisa Kaltenegger, directora del Instituto Carl Sagan y experta en el descubrimiento de exoplanetas, nos llega una obra apasionante sobre la búsqueda de vida extraterrestre que transformará nuestra comprensión del universo.


¿Y si no estamos solos en el universo?


Como directora del Instituto Carl Sagan de la Universidad de Cornell, la astrónoma Lisa Kaltenegger colabora con grupos de científicos que trabajan en la construcción de instrumentos especiales para la búsqueda de vida en otros planetas. Gracias al telescopio espacial James Webb, a otros telescopios más pequeños y a la innovadora labor que la doctora Kaltenegger está llevando a cabo en su laboratorio, estamos viviendo una época de exploraciones increíbles.


Con un entusiasmo contagioso, Kaltenegger nos embarca en un viaje deslumbrante a los nuevos descubrimientos científicos y a una docena de insólitos exoplanetas, desde planetas cubiertos de océanos de lava hasta astros solitarios que vagan por el espacio y planetas con más de un sol en su firmamento, que harán que cambiemos nuestra cosmovisión.


En Mundos extraterrestres descubriremos nuevos continentes, pero también nuevos mundos que giran alrededor de otras estrellas. Un fascinante relato que cautivará a todo aquel que haya contemplado alguna vez el cielo nocturno con asombro.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute and a leading expert in exoplanet discovery, comes a thrilling exploration of the search for extraterrestrial life--one that will transform our understanding of the universe.


What if we're not alone in the cosmos?


As director of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute, astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger works with teams of scientists developing specialized instruments to detect life on other planets. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, smaller observatories, and the groundbreaking research conducted in Kaltenegger's lab, we are living in an era of extraordinary exploration.


With infectious enthusiasm, Kaltenegger takes us on a dazzling journey through cutting-edge scientific discoveries and introduces us to a dozen remarkable exoplanets--from lava-covered worlds to rogue planets drifting through space and others with multiple suns in their skies--that will forever change our cosmic perspective.


In Alien Earths, we'll discover not only new continents, but entirely new worlds orbiting distant stars. A fascinating narrative that will captivate anyone who has ever gazed at the night sky in wonder.
