Infinite Universe

Are we alone in the universe—or one voice among countless worlds? Infinite Universe surveys more than 5,000 discovered exoplanets, cataloging planets that burn with seas of molten rock, drift alone as rogue worlds, and orbit within habitable zones where liquid water and perhaps life may exist. The book traces humanity's long curiosity about the night sky, moving from ancient myths to modern observations made with instruments such as the James Webb Space Telescope. It explains the methods astronomers use to detect exoplanets, highlights remarkable discoveries like lava planets and water worlds, and examines the search for extraterrestrial life alongside the paradox of silence and prospects for exploration beyond the Solar System.
