Coverage is non-mathematical, and is presented as a ?travelogue? of the solar neighborhood. Discussion is based heavily on results obtained from recent space probes to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Offers detailed descriptions of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and the results of the recent probes of Halley's comet. An extensive discussion of meteorites leads to a description of the current models of the solar system. Introductory chapters present theories of the solar system from the ancient Greeks to the present day. Other topics covered include the sun, its structure, and how it generates energy; the surfaces, internal structures, and histories of the planets, from innermost Mercury to farthest Pluto, and their moons.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTHE FAMILY OF THE SUN.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From Flat Earth to Spaceflight.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Our Star, the Sun.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PLANETS OF ROCK: THE INNER SOLAR SYSTEM.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Earth From a Planetary Perspective.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Earth's Nearest Neighbor--The Moon.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mercury--The Land of Fire.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Venus--the Shrouded Inferno.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mars--A Frozen Miniature Earth.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Debris of the Solar System--the Asteroids.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PLANETS OF LIQUID AND GAS: THE JOVIAN GIANTS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Jupiter--A Giant Among Worlds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Saturn--the Jewel of the Solar System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Miniature Solar System--Jupiter's Moons.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Saturn's Moons--Worlds of Ice, Worlds of Mystery.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e WORLDS OF ICE: THE OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Uranus--Planet Turned Sideways.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Neptune, and Triton--Worlds to Explore.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pluto--The Edge of the Solar System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Comets--the Primordial Snowballs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Death from the Skies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A QUESTION OF ORIGIN.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Meteors and Meteorites--Visitors from Outer Space.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Origin of the Solar System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Nebular Hypothesis Ascendant.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendixes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Physics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Physics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Physics%20%5BPH%5D%22\"\u003ePH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298062496024,"sku":"9780471850342","price":190.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471850342.jpg?v=1781733782","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-space-age-solar-system-paperback-softback-9780471850342","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
