Description
Alien Seas: Oceans in Space by Michael Carroll and Rosaly Lopes explores the fascinating world of planetary seas beyond our own. Once thought to exist across the Solar System, these ancient concepts have been replaced by discoveries of exotic waterways on other planets and moons. From the surface features on the Moon's surface to the methane pools on Saturn's moon Titan, this book delves into the latest research and theories about the existence of oceans in our Solar System. The authors examine the composition of various "seas" and feature original art depicting these alien environments, along with the latest ground-based and spacecraft images. Organized by location and material, 'Alien Seas' offers a comprehensive look at the possibilities of life beyond Earth. With contributions from guest authors, this book is a rich resource for anyone interested in space science and astronomy.
