Oceans Beyond Earth – Kevin Peter Hand (Ukr. Hardcover)

Oceans Beyond Earth by Kevin Peter Hand is a compelling science exploration of life in the far reaches of our Solar System. Far beyond Mars, under the ice of Jupiter’s, Saturn’s, and Neptune’s moons, lie vast subsurface oceans—holding fifty times more water than all Earth’s oceans combined. The underside of that icy shell resembles a surreal, inverted ocean floor with potential ecosystems hidden from sight.

Drawing on his expertise as a planetary oceanographer and astrobiologist, Hand guides readers through the scientific tools and engineering needed to probe these frozen worlds and examine the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Combining planetary science, biology, and engineering, this book opens a window into the hidden aquatic worlds of outer space, making complex science approachable and thrilling.
