Presents the solar system from the perspective of the
space probes sent to explore the heavens. Discover what the solar system looks like up close in this
definitive collection of space exploration images. Since the
1960s, NASA has been sending unmanned satellites to explore
the planets, moons, and sun. These probes have amassed a
stunning visual record of other worlds, revealing not one
but scores of new frontiers, from rust-red Mars to Saturn
with its ethereal rings. Michael Benson has pulled together
the most spectacular of these images into a volume that
focuses on the awesome appearance of these celestial bodies.
He discusses what the photos actually reveal about the
places in simple language children will understand. The book
includes a glossary, a bibliography, and an index.
