"The Evolution of Worlds" by Percival Lowell is a book that explores the fascinating world of astronomy, going beyond just looking at stars and planets. It explains how solar systems are born and change over time, including the possibility of big disasters affecting planets. The book touches on the idea that not everything in space can be seen, suggesting that there could be "dark stars" out there that we can't see, but that could influence other stars. Lowell uses examples from real-life events in space, like novas, to support his ideas about how the universe evolves, setting the scene for a deeper investigation into the mysteries of cosmic development.
