Publisher's Summary
The search for Planet B. Why is Earth so special? And where are the aliens? Dr Matt Agnew takes us through this fun, information-packed, fascinating look at life in space. Sit back, relax, let your imagination run wild and enjoy this scientific journey.
With a PhD in astrophysics, Dr Matt is a self-proclaimed 'space nerd' and is passionate about communicating science in an interesting and accessible way. Dr Matt explores the qualities that make planet Earth special before moving ahead to traverse what we're beginning to know about other special places for life in the solar system. And what about beyond, in other star systems? How do we even begin to look that far away? Having investigated what we do know and what we're on the brink of knowing, Dr Matt's imagination runs wild as he addresses what we don't know. Where are the aliens? How common are they? Have we spotted any? And if not, why not?

knowledge on our place in the universe
great book, perspective shifting 👌🏼
I found the first few chapters like a recap of some science that I already new.. but by the end I realised that foundation was worth spending time on. Because each chapter builds on knowledge already discussed until by the end I am holding a conversation on astrophysics at... small gatherings with regular people 🤓.
I loved the way the author speaks about his subject of passion. With so many questions unanswered it can feel frustrating to not have all the knowledge we want, but knowing the potential answers is actually thrilling to learn.
Somehow the uncertainty was flipped on its head to encourage you to feel the responsibility and excitement of being part of our privileged opportunity, to be a conscious life form at this point in time👌🏼
