KAREL SCHRIJVER obtained his PhD in
astrophysics studying the magnetism of stars.
His work later increasingly focused on the
ever-changing atmosphere of the nearest star,
our life-enabling Sun. His professional interests
also include the effects of solar magnetism on
interplanetary space, on the planets, and on
human technology. He has authored and edited
over two hundred research articles and books,
as well as popular science articles. Together
with his wife, a physician, he wrote Living with
the stars, a book for general audiences about
the connections between the human body and
the Universe. The discovery of exoplanets and
the unfolding of fascinating insights into distant
worlds triggered this new work. He lives and
works near Portland, Oregon.
Illustrated with breathtaking images of the Solar System and of the
Universe around it, this book ex plores how the discoveries within the
Solar System and of exoplanets far beyond it come together to under-
stand the habitability of Earth, and how these findings guide the search
for exoplanets that could support life. The author highlights how, within
two decades of the discovery of the first planets outside the Solar System
in the 1 990s, scientists concluded that planets are so common that most
stars are orbited by them.
The lives of exoplanets and their stars, as of our Solar System and its
Sun, are inextricably interwoven. Stars are the seeds around which
planets form, and they provide light and warmth for as long as they
sh ine. At the end of their lives, stars expel massive amounts of newly
forged elements into deep space, and that ejected material is incorp-
orated into subsequent generations of planets.
How do we learn about these distant worlds? What does the explor-
ation of other planets tell us about Earth? Can we find out what the
distant future may have in store for us? What do we know about exo-
worlds and starbirth, and where do migrating hot Jupiters, polluted
white dwarfs, and free-roaming nomad planets fit in? And what does
all that have to do with the habitability of Earth, the possibility of finding
extraterrestrial life, and the operation of the globe-spanning network of
the sciences?
