Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. The Origin Of The Sun And The Early Evolution Of The Solar System With Special Emphasis On Mars, Asteroids, And Meteorites -- Chapter 3. Models For The Origin Of The Current Martian Satellites As Well As Satellites Of Other Terrestrial Planets -- Chapter 4. A Prograde Gravitational Capture Model For A Sizeable Volcanoid Planetoid (Or Asteroid) For Mars -- Chapter 5. A Retrograde Gravitational Capture Model For A Sizeable Satellite For Mars -- Chapter 6. A History Of A Ruling Paradigm In The Earth And Planetary Sciences That Guided Research For Three Decades: The Giant Impact Model For The Origin Of The Moon And The Origin Of The Earth-Moon System -- Chapter 7. A History Of Lunar Capture Studies: A Chronology Of Events That Eventually Led To A Somewhat Comprehensive Gravitational Lunar Capture Model -- Chapter 8. Comparative Analysis Of The Gravitational Capture Potential For Terrestrial Planets And Planet Neptune As Aids In The Search For Habitable Exoplanets -- Chapter 9. Discussion Of Some Real And/Or Theoretical Effects Of Captured Satellites On Both Terrestrial Planets And Gaseous Planets -- Chapter 10. A Discussion Of Three Major Paradigms In The Earth And Planetary Sciences.

This book offers an exercise in theoretical planetology, presenting five different scenarios to assess the evolution of habitable conditions on Mars to assess planetary terraforming potential and to give insight into the ongoing search for habitable exoplanets. Four of the scenarios involve Martian satellite capture models, in which gravitational capture via tidal deformation and energy dissipation processes are measured to predict a pathway of biological evolution, while the fifth scenario analyzes the possible model that led to the Mars that we have today (i.e. with no life forms). In ten chapters, readers will learn how a Mars-like terrestrial planet can be transformed into a habitable planet, and what conditions must be assessed when searching for exoplanets in a star-centered orbit to support life. The book is intended for planetologists, and general enthusiasts of planetary evolution and our solar system. .
