The most distant planets in our solar system, Uranus and Neptune
were unknown by the ancients - Uranus was discovered in the 1780s
and Neptune only in the 1840s. Our discovery and observation of
both planets has been hampered by their sheer distance from Earth:
there has only been one close encounter, Voyager 2 in the late
1980s. The Voyager mission revealed many enticing details about the
planets and their moons, but also left many more questions
unanswered. This book is an informative and accessible introduction
to Uranus, Neptune and their moons. It takes the reader on a
journey from discovery to the most recent observations made from
space- and ground-based telescopes, and will appeal to amateur and
professional astronomers alike.
