Description
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb takes readers inside the astonishing story of the first interstellar visitor observed in our solar system. In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory spotted a strange object speeding through the inner solar system. Loeb concluded that it was not an asteroid: it was moving too quickly along an unusual orbit and left no trail of gas or debris. He argues that the only conceivable explanation is that it was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization. He explores his theory and its profound implications for science, religion and the future of our planet. This thought-provoking journey into the furthest reaches of science, space-time and the human imagination challenges readers to aim for the stars and think critically about what may be out there, no matter how strange it seems.
