How to Read the Solar System

How to Read the Solar System

by Paul Abel Author and Chris North Author

What exactly is the solar system? We've all learned the basics at school but do we really understand what we are seeing in the night sky? Two expert astronomers provide a guided tour of our Solar System and explain what we know about how it works—and the many things we don't know. They show us the Sun, the planets and their moons, plus visitors like asteroids, meteors and comets, as well as distant stars. An amateur astronomer can see a lot just by looking up at the night sky, and after reading this book you'll know more than you did before about your place in the universe.
