Description

The leading astronomer from Harvard presents his theory that a high-tech extraterrestrial object from a distant star recently visited our solar system.

In late 2017, scientists at the Hawaii observatory fleetingly observed an object crossing our inner solar system, moving at such speed that it could only have originated from a distant star. Avi Loeb, then Chairman of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard, demonstrated that it was not an asteroid: it was moving too quickly on an irregular trajectory, and it left no fragments or traces of gas behind.

Only one explanation could be given: it was a technological object constructed by a distant extraterrestrial civilization. In Extraterrestrial, Loeb recounts the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor detected in our solar system.

He describes his theory and its profound implications for science, religion, and the future of our species and our planet. An incredible journey to the fringes of science, spacetime, and human imagination.

Extraterrestrial invites readers to aim for the stars – and to critically examine what lies among them, however strange it may seem.

    Undoubtedly an excellent book by a top scientist. Simple yet captivating is the writing style of Avi Loeb. He has distinguished the Greek edition, which I personally consider to be absolutely comprehensive! Beyond the usual genres of novel, autobiography, and history, this particular book approaches issues concerning our future and the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life in a realistic and friendly, yet always scientific, way. I highly recommend it without reservation!

    Unfortunately, the translator was quite inexperienced. The English version is much more interesting. I also can't understand how a 240-page book was translated into 380 pages. Did the translator include their own opinions as well?
