Landscapes of lava, vast waterscapes, and “eyeball worlds” await discovery In 1995, astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz announced they had detected the first "exoplanet" orbiting a main-sequence star, 51 light years away. Two months later, a team of astronomers led by Geoff Marcy confirmed Mayor's detection and found two more. Within a decade, hundreds of planets orbiting other stars had been detected. NASA's Kepler Telescope, launched into space in 2009, found a few thousand more. The Planet Factory, by Elizabeth Tasker, is the story of these 3000+ planets, "the travel log of how they came to form from dust particles to worlds so diverse that even Hollywood has failed to be weirder."

探索系外行星

熔岩景观、广阔的水景和“眼球世界”等待发现 1995 年,天文学家米歇尔·马约尔 (Michel Mayor) 和迪迪埃·奎洛兹 (Didier Queloz) 宣布,他们发现了第一颗围绕主序星运行的“系外行星”,距离我们 51 光年。两个月后,由 Geoff Marcy 领导的一组天文学家证实了 Mayor 的发现,并发现了另外两个。在十年内,已经探测到数百颗围绕其他恒星运行的行星。美国宇航局的开普勒望远镜于 2009 年发射到太空,发现了数千个。伊丽莎白·塔斯克 (Elizabeth Tasker) 的《行星工厂》讲述了这 3000 多颗行星的故事,“它们是如何从尘埃粒子形成到如此多样化的世界的旅行日志,甚至好莱坞也没有变得更奇怪。”
