Book description
En octubre de 2017, científicos del observatorio Haleakala, en Hawái, detectaron un objeto interestelar en movimiento próximo a la Tierra. Primero fue catalogado de cometa, pero esta Hipótesis fue descartada. Llamado Oumuamua, «mensajero» o «explorador» en hawaiano, finalmente fue catalogado como asteroide, si bien su forma y su comportamiento diferían del resto de los asteroides y cometas de nuestro sistema solar. Cuanto más lo observaban los científicos, más extraño les parecía. Cuando Avi Loeb, catedrático de Astronomía de Harvard, sugirió que Oumuamua era la evidencia de vida y tecnología extraterrestre en el espacio, se desató el que probablemente sea el debate científico más relevante en décadas. En este libro, Loeb presenta por primera vez su teoría al gran público y nos ofrece un fascinante viaje por el universo desde los orígenes del tiempo, del espacio y de la vida. Un astrofísico anuncia el primer signo de vida inteligente extraterrestre. El libro que cambiará la historia de la ciencia para siempre.
