? the constituent parts of the Universe, its
creation and evolution ? the key concepts of cosmology including the theory of relativity, supermassive black holes and 'multiverses' ? the very latest developments in our understanding of quasars, exoplanets and astrobiology From dwarf planets to dark energy and from the Big Bang to the death of stars, this book is the perfect introduction to the cutting-edge science that is shaping our understanding of out place in the Universe and that could lead to the next great discovery - the detection of life beyond Earth.
