Description
"This illustrated book invites the reader on a journey through the Solar System. It starts by locating our planetary system in the universe, then describes the Sun and its planets, the large satellites, the asteroids and the comets. With photographs and information from the latest space missions, readers will discover the lunar plains scarred by asteroid impacts, the frozen deserts of Mars and Europa, the continuously erupting volcanoes of Io and the giant geysers of Triton; they will cross the rings of Saturn, plunge into the clouds of Venus and Titan, and survive the spectacular crash of the comet Shoemaker-Levy into Jupiter, to emerge with a greater appreciation of the hospitable planet we call home."--Jacket.
