An overview of the exploration of the solar system, from Sputnik I in 1957 to Voyager's encounter with Neptune in August 1989. It is illustrated with American and Russian space photographs, including images of Neptune, a planet three billion miles away. The author, Patrick Moore, is probably the best known British scientist and his TV programme "The Sky at Night", together with his TV commentaries on space missions and his various books, have helped to popularize astronomy.
