Synopsis
In The Evolution of Worlds, Percival Lowell guides readers from the deep past of the cosmos to the planets we know today. It examines how the solar system began and how unseen forces sculpted its long history, using bright ideas and observed patterns to explain why worlds move the way they do.
The work blends evidence from eclipsing stars, nova events, and the behavior of planets and their satellites to reveal a coherent story of formation, change, and eventual fate. It also treats dramatic topics like the fate of dark stars, the origins of rings and planets, and the surprising ways orbits and tilts reveal a common mechanism at work across the system.
- Evidence for how a solar system forms and evolves, including inner and outer planets, and the role of collisions and tidal forces.
- Observations about planetary tilts, orbital shapes, and how satellites relate to their primaries.
- Discussion of rings, comets, asteroids, and the dynamic history that shapes their current arrangements.
- Connections between novae, nebulae, and the birth of worlds to explain the structure we observe today.
Ideal for readers curious about the origins of our solar system and the big-picture patterns that link planets, satellites, and rings across the cosmos.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the formation of our solar system and the physical evolution of worlds within it. The author examines the evidence that a catastrophic collision between two dark stars created the nebula from which our solar system was born. Drawing on the latest astronomical research and observations, the book delves into the origins, compositions, and behaviors of planets, comets, and meteorites. It discusses the processes of accretion, differentiation, and orbital variations that shape the life cycles of both rocky and gaseous worlds. The book also investigates the potential for life beyond Earth and the ultimate fate of our own planet. Through detailed analysis and engaging prose, this book sheds new light on the cosmic processes that govern the formation, evolution, and potential end of worlds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330332979_0
