Extraterrestre

In October 2017, scientists located at the Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii detected an interstellar object moving within the solar system and close enough to Earth. It was first classified as a comet and finally as an asteroid, although it behaved very differently from any other asteroid or comet in our solar system. In fact, the more scientists observed it, the stranger it seemed to them. When Avi Loeb, a professor of astronomy at Harvard, suggested that the object, dubbed 'Oumuamua', was the first evidence of extraterrestrial life and technology in space, the most relevant scientific debate of the last decades. In this book, Loeb presents his theory to the general public for the first time and describes the profound implications it has for science, religion, and the future of our species and our planet. A fascinating journey through the universe from the origins of time, space and life, which invites us to challenge the limits of our imagination and wait for the unexpected.
