Exploring the Solar System Other Worlds

Exploring The Solar System chronicles more than 30 years of planetary exploration, revealing the Solar System in all its colorful glory. At one time, the planets and moons of our Solar System were elusive and distant worlds that shimmered tantalizingly through telescope eyepieces; today they are landscapes as vivid and real as those of our own planet. Robotic explorers on missions deep into space and new techniques of image processing have provided us with remarkably realistic views of planetary surfaces and have led to the visual bounty of Noah Booths Exploring The Solar System. With more than 300 NASA pictures, Exploring The Solar System describes and explains the important scientific advances that have been make in the course of space explorations, including recent discoveries about our own planet through satellite imaging. It also tells a story rich in drama and surprises about the ingenuity and indomitable pioneering spirit that has enabled scientists to reach out and explore the farthest reaches of the Solar System.Beatty, J.
