ASTRONOMERS UNIVERSE THE EXO-WEATHER REPORT -...

David Stevenson's new book links the meteorology of the Earth to that of other planets  stars 
and clusters of galaxies  showing the similarities and differences between terrestrial weather
and that of weather on other worlds. Because Earth is not unique in having weather  there is
much to learn from other planets with atmospheres that show the movement of energy from hotter
to colder areas. The weather seen on Earth and other known planetary systems are examined to
elaborate the connection between climate and the development of life.The weather on Earth and
other Solar System planets is a manifestation of the huge energy budget imparted by our star 
the Sun  but weather doesn't stop at the shores of our Solar System. The author brings together
the latest information from satellites and probes  such as Cassini and Hubble  to show its
larger place in the astronomical picture. Inferences are drawn about the weather and climate of
a large number of other planetary systems that liefar from our own. Additionally  the author
expands our understanding of what exactly weather is comprised of by exploring the kind of
weather experienced on the largest observable scales in the universe.
