About this book<\/em><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Presents the essential conditions required for the formation and evolution of life and on which planets these may be met<\/li>\n
  • Provides an understanding of how rare the solar system, planet Earth and all life on it actually are<\/li>\n
  • Teaches you about the different planets, stars and brown dwarfs<\/li>\n
  • Entertaining and at the same time informative and thought provocative for curious minds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This is a book on planets: Solar system planets and dwarf planets. And planets outside our solar system \u2013 exoplanets. How did they form? What types of planets are there and what do they have in common? How do they differ? What do we know about their atmospheres \u2013 if they have one? What are the conditions for life and on which planets may they be met? And what\u2019s the origin of life on Earth and how did it form? You will understand how rare the solar system, the Earth and hence life is.
    \nThis is also a book on stars. The first and second generation of stars in the Universe. But in particular also on the link between planets and stars \u2013 brown dwarfs. Their atmospheric properties and similarities with giant exoplanets.
    \nAll these fascinating questions will be answered in a non-technical manner. But those of you who want to know a bit more may look up the relevant mathematical relationships in appendices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
