The search for Planet B. Why Earth is 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?
'A must-read . . . filled with delightful analogies that make learning about space digestible and fun for everyone.' Kirsten Banks, Astrophysicist & Science Communicator
'A fascinating journey to unravel the secrets of life.' Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith, Australian Government Women in STEM Ambassador
