The Solar System is filled with wonder. Our corner of the Universe has dozens of unique planetary objects, which we are coming to understand in more detail all the time.
Solar System begins with the star at the centre of our Solar System, The Sun. Moving away, chapter by chapter, until we reach the outer bodies of the system, we unearth knowledge of the unique properties of each of the planets along the way. From mercury's pre-historic cataclysm to Uranus's uncommon axial tilt, there are intriguing discoveries to be made by keen astronomers and beginners alike.
Featuring incredible photography from satellites and manned space-flights, from the International Space Station to the Hubble telescope, this book brings the night sky to life.
