Synopsis
Based on the spectacular TV series, The Planets is a fascinating and thrilling exploration of our solar system. Emphasizing throughout the human stories that have been inextricably linked to new discoveries - from Copernicus to the Voyager team - it looks at each planet from an historical, cultural and scientific point of view, describes how our ideas about them have evolved since ancient times, how they have influenced life on earth, and what the very latest space probes reveal. In looking both to the past and the future, The Planets reviews new theories about the creation of the solar system, considers the possible existence of a Tenth Planet, and examines what we can learn from the innumerable chunks of space debris - meteors, meteorites and comets. It also investigates the latest claims for solar systems beyond our own. Might they harbour life? Illustrated in full colour with some of the most stunning pictures taken by recent space probes, the book also contains practical information on how to observe the planets for yourself with little or no special equipment., how to observe comets, a list of annual meteor showers, and a guide to planetary movements over the next five years.
