Description
This Very Short Introduction takes the reader on a journey through the grand sweep of time, from the moment galaxies begin to form after the Big Bang to trillions of years in the future. It also explores the vast array of newly discovered planets orbiting stars other than our own, and explains the factors that determine their climates. Finally, it reveals what determines how long planetary systems can live, and what happens in their end-times.
