{"product_id":"twenty-worlds-niall-deacon-9781789143386","title":"Twenty Worlds: The Extraordinary Story of Planets Around Other Stars","description":"Thirty years ago, the only planets we knew were the ones orbiting our own sun; we now know of thousands of other worlds orbiting distant stars. In this book, astronomer Niall Deacon journeys to twenty of these globes: from giant, blisteringly hot planets orbiting close to their parent stars to planets that float through the cold wilderness of space alone, and from dead stars shredding asteroids to worlds made of diamond--and even planets that may be similar to the Earth. Deacon also takes in the latest exoplanet discoveries and explains how astronomers have come to learn so much about these strange and distant worlds. \u003ci\u003eTwenty Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e tells a sweeping story, of real planets around other stars, and it will fascinate a universe of fans of popular science and astronomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niall Deacon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789143381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789143386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021","brand":"Niall Deacon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047212740863,"sku":"9781789143386","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c9935b7-ed9f-4f5c-8394-8d709e9f9c32.jpg?v=1684988906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twenty-worlds-niall-deacon-9781789143386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
