Alien Oceans: The Search for Life in the Depths of Space

This scientific journey transports us far beyond our planet. Author Kevin Peter Hand invites us to explore the fascinating world of oceans that may exist on other celestial bodies in the Solar System. Shifting the focus from Mars, the traditional candidate for life, the author delves into the icy moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Based on the latest research in planetary science, astrobiology, and oceanography, the book reveals how subglacial oceans form, the conditions necessary for life to arise within them, and how we can explore them. By drawing parallels between Earth's oceans and those on other planets, the author helps us better understand the processes occurring in space.
