'A deft, frequently dramatic tour' Nature 'A wonderfully clear and
readable book . . . Gives a splendid overview of our Sun's
planetary system, including its history and exploration' Dame
Jocelyn Bell Burnell * We have the impression that the solar system
is perfectly regular like a clock, or a planetarium instrument. On
a short timescale it is. But, seen in a longer perspective, the
planets, and their satellites, have exciting lives, full of events
- for example, did you know that Saturn's moon, Titan, boasts lakes
which contain liquid methane surrounded by soaring hills and
valleys, exactly as the earth did before life evolved on our
fragile planet? Or that Mercury is the shyest planet? Or, that
Mars' biggest volcano is 100 times the size of Earth's, or that its
biggest canyon is 10 times the depth of the Grand Canyon, or that
it wasn't always red, but blue? The culmination of a lifetime of
astronomy and wonder, Paul Murdin's enchanting new book reveals
everything you ever wanted to know about the planets, their
satellites, and our place in the solar system.
