PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- Is there life among the stars? Are there planets circling other suns? Astronomers are ready to take on the greatest challenge in the search for extraterrestrial life: to discover another Earth, but how? The answer lies in extremely sensitive planet-finders -- monster telescopes being designed and built to operate several hundred light years away. In The Search for New Planets, 'planet hunters' discuss the prospects of finding 'extrasolar' signs of life and what such a discovery could mean. Part of the multivolume Cosmic Odyssey Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"...exceptional...Well narrated...concepts and theories are explained with dazzling graphics, simulations, animations and occasional NASA supplied real visual data...The lure of cosmic mysteries in this excellent series is compelling and thought-provoking. This series will be very useful for high school astronomy and physics courses..."- School Library Journal (Sept 2003)
"This series would be a great addition to the astronomy classroom. The videos will pique the interest of students and encourage new approaches to the subject. They are a great introduction and should provide new ideas to explore. Highly recommended."- Library Media Connection (Jan 2004)
