Join Bonnie J. Buratti, a leading planetary astronomer, on this
personal tour of NASA's latest discoveries. Moving through the
Solar System from Mercury, Venus, Mars, past comets and asteroids
and the moons of the giant planets, to Pluto, and on to exoplanets,
she gives vivid descriptions of landforms that are similar to those
found on Earth but that are more fantastic. Sulfur-rich volcanoes
and lakes on Io, active gullies on Mars, huge ice plumes and
tar-like deposits on the moons of Saturn, hydrocarbon rivers and
lakes on Titan, and nitrogen glaciers on Pluto are just some of the
marvels that await readers. Discover what it is like to be involved
in a major scientific enterprise, with all its pitfalls and
excitement, from the perspective of a female scientist. This
engaging account of modern space exploration is written for
non-specialist readers, from students in high school to enthusiasts
of all ages.
