Krátky popis
'A wonderfully clear and readable book . . .Gives a splendid
overview of our Sun's planetary system, including its history and
exploration'Dame Jocelyn Bell BurnellWe have the impression that
the solar system is perfectly regular like a clock, or a
planetarium instrument. On a short timescale it is. But, seen in a
longer perspective, the planets, and their satellites, have
exciting lives, full of events - for example, did you know that
Saturn's moon, Titan, boasts lakes which contain liquid methane
surrounded by soaring hills and valleys, exactly as the earth did
before life evolved on our fragile planet? Or that Mercury is the
shyest planet? Or, that Mars' biggest volcano is 100 times the size
of Earth's, or that its biggest canyon is 10 times the depth of the
Grand Canyon, or that it wasn't always red, but blue? The
culmination of a lifetime of astronomy and wonder, Paul Murdin's
enchanting new book reveals everything you ever wanted to know
about the planets, their satellites, and our place in the solar
system.
