Empire Of The Sun - Planets And Moons Of The Solar System
Seller: Bookenastics, Devon, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Fifty colour images, most from NASA and most obtained over the last decade or so, provide a stunning introduction to the wonders of the Solar System. From views of the cratered south pole of our Moon to the equally cratered surface of Phobos (one of Mars' small moons); close-ups of Europa's fractured icefloes; the curious geology of Miranda (the smallest of Uranus' five moons) and a solar flare caught by Skylab, much of this book is a visual feast. However, there are some much more familiar images, like the 1969 photo of Buzz Aldrin on the Moon and a 1971 Apollo 15 picture of the Earth, which looks a bit redundant now. Some of the images are over-enlarged just to fill the page, such as the 1986 Giotto picture of the nucleus of Halley's Comet and the 1997 Mars rover vehicle. This is a 1st edition paperback in fine condition. (136 pages). Seller Inventory # 7693
