The word "landscape" can mean picture as well as natural scenery.
Recent advances in space exploration imaging have allowed us to now
have landscapes never before possible, and this book collects some
of the greatest views and vistas of Mars, Venus's Titan, Io and
more in their full glory, with background information to put into
context the foreign landforms of our Solar System. Here, literally,
are 'other-worldly' visions of strange new scenes, all captured by
the latest technology by landing and roving vehicles or by very
low-flying spacecraft. There is more than scientific interest in
these views. They are also aesthetically beautiful and intriguing,
and Dr. Murdin in a final chapter compares them to terrestrial
landscapes in fine art. Planetary Vistas is a science book and a
travel book across the planets and moons of the Solar System for
armchair space explorers who want to be amazed and informed. This
book shows what future space explorers will experience, because
these are the landscapes that astronauts and space tourists will
see.
