Asteroids and Life

Chandra Shekhar Kapoor

Astronomy is defined because the study of the objects that lies beyond our planet Earth and therefore the processes by which these objects interact with each other. We’ll see, though, that it's far more. It’s also humanity’s plan to organize what we learn into a transparent history of the universe, from the moment of its birth within the explosion to this moment. Throughout this book, we emphasize that science may be a progress report—one that changes constantly as new techniques and instruments allow us to probe the universe more deeply. In considering the history of the universe, we'll see again and again that the cosmos evolves; it changes in profound ways over long periods of your time. For instance, the universe made the carbon, the calcium, and therefore the oxygen necessary to construct something as interesting and sophisticated as you.
