Synopsis
Chronicling more than three decades of planetary exploration, this book reveals the solar system in all its colorful glory. More than 200 of the finest full-color pictures from the missions of NASA, including the latest discoveries from the Hubble Space Telescope, and the space agencies of Europe, Russia, and Japan show readers the planets, moons, comets and asteroids, and the Sun itself.

Review
This gorgeous book takes readers on an armchair tour of the solar system, and includes some of the most recent images available of the planets, moons and debris that circle our sun. The prose is crystal-clear, telling us what we do and do not know about this corner of the galaxy. But the vivid pictures -- more than 300 of them in full-color -- are the main attraction, and deservedly so. They are simply beautiful. Considering what it delivers, Exploring the Solar System comes with a surprisingly low sticker price. It's a real bargain.
