BOOK REVIEWEDNew Worlds in the Cosmos: The Discovery of Exoplanets

byMichel Mayor & & Pierre-Yves Frei (transl. Boud Roukema)


Cambridge University Press: 2003. 248 pp. £18.95, $30

In 1995, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz presented the first solid evidence for the existence outside our own Solar System of a planetary-mass body orbiting a Sun-like star. The number of likely extrasolar planets has since grown to more than 100, and both NASA and its European equivalent, ESA, have plans to continue the search from space.
