Wilson Literary Science Writing Award “Provocative and thrilling..." Loeb asks us to think big and to expect the unexpected. —Alan Lightman, New York Times bestselling author of Einstein’s Dreams and Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine Harvard’s top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star. Moving so rapidly that it could only have come from another star, in late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory spotted an object speeding through our inner solar system. Harvard’s top astronomer, Avi Loeb, demonstrated it was not an asteroid or comet; it was moving too quickly and in a strange orbit. It left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation left: the object proved itself to be a piece of technology created by an advanced alien civilization. In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the exciting story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He shares his controversial theory and its profound implications and ventures down the philosophical rabbit hole. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to think critically about what’s out there and who's doing it.
