Book Summary
Ever since the serendipitous discovery of planet Uranus in 1871, astronomers
have been hunting for new worlds in the outer regions of our solar system. This
exciting and ongoing quest culminated recently in the discovery of hundreds of
ice dwarfs in the Kuiper belt, robbed Pluto from its planet status, and led to a
better understanding of the origin of the solar system. This timely book reads
like a scientific who done it, going from the heights of discovery to the depths
of disappointment in the hunt for Planet X . Based on many personal interviews
with astronomers, the well-known science writer Govert Schilling introduces the
heroes
