| 520 | _a"The Evolution of Worlds" by Percival Lowell is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the astronomical principles underlying the formation and development of solar systems, examining concepts such as the evolution of planets and the potential cataclysmic events that might influence them. It reflects Lowell's extensive background in astronomy, especially his previous studies on Mars. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the complexities of astronomy, challenging the notion that it is solely the study of visible celestial bodies. Lowell emphasizes the importance of understanding the invisible aspects of the cosmos, suggesting that every star might have unseen companions, especially focusing on the concept of dark stars and their potential effects. He discusses the logic behind their existence and relates how a star's lifecycle can lead to phenomena such as novas. Through examples from historical observations, such as those of Algol and Nova Persei, Lowell lays the groundwork for his arguments about cosmic evolution, preparing the stage for deeper exploration in subsequent chapters.
