Krátky popis
Want to join the ultimate cosmic treasure hunt?'They fall from the
sky, and tell us about the universe: a passionate story of the
excitement and the science of searching for and deciphering
meteorites.' Carlo RovelliMeteors, with their ethereal, glowing
trails slashing through the atmosphere, have entranced us for
centuries. But these extraterrestrial visitors are also inestimably
valuable. Not just for collectors, who can make their fortunes
tracking them down, but for scientists too.Meteorites are the most
ancient objects we know, unblemished time capsules from the birth
of the solar system. Following in the footsteps of passionate
hobbyists, ground-breaking scientists and intrepid adventurers,
Joshua Howgego takes a rollicking ride through the world of
meteorite hunting. Join the seasoned practitioners braving the
elements as they scour the Sahara and ice sheets of
Antarctica.Discover how, closer to home, one unlikely hero – a
self-taught jazz guitarist – is uncovering the countless
micrometeorites scattered across the rooftops of our cities. And
meet the professor searching for the rarest of the rare: fossil
meteorites, entombed in rock since the days of the dinosaurs.
Finding these stones from space is just the beginning.As scientists
tease out their secrets, they piece together an unexpected new
history of the solar system, with implications that extend to one
of the most fundamental questions we can ask: how did life on earth
begin?
