内容简介

“富有远见的 "斯蒂芬·格林布拉特

哈佛大学的天文学家带我们了解太阳系的第1个星际访客的令人震惊的故事

2017年底，夏威夷天文台的科学家们瞥见一个奇怪的物体在我们的内太阳系中翱翔。天体物理学家阿维·勒布(Avi Loeb)的结论是，这不是一颗小行星；它沿着一个奇怪的轨道移动得太快了，而且没有留下气体或碎片的痕迹。只有一个可以想象的解释：该物体是由一个遥远的外星文明创造的先进技术。

在《外星》一书中，Loeb带领读者了解了在太阳系被发现的第1个星际访客的惊险故事。他概述了他的理论及其深远影响：对科学、对我们星球的未来。外星生物是一次穿越科学、时空和人类想象力的远距离的心灵之旅，它向读者提出挑战，要求他们以星空为目标，并对外面的事物进行批判性思考，无论它看起来多么奇怪。

'VISIONARY' Stephen Greenblatt

Harvard's top astronomer takes us inside the mind-blowing story of the first interstellar visitor to our solar system

In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb conclusively showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.

In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars-and to think critically about what's out there, no matter how strange it seems.
