Description

The Secret Lives of Planets: A User's Guide to the Solar System by Paul Murdin Discover the fascinating world of our solar system, full of dramatic events and surprising discoveries. From the history of exploration to the latest findings in astronomy, this enchanting book reveals everything you ever wanted to know about the planets and their satellites. The solar system may seem like a regular, clockwork universe on short timescales, but look closer and you'll find exciting lives unfolding among its planets and moons. Take Saturn's moon Titan, for example, with its lakes of liquid methane and soaring hills, or Mercury, the shyest planet in our solar system. Mars, too, holds secrets: its biggest volcano is 100 times the size of Earth's, and its largest canyon is 10 times deeper than the Grand Canyon. This beautifully written book is the culmination of a lifetime of astronomy and wonder, offering a clear and readable overview of our Sun's planetary system.
