Wonders of The Solar System
In this rich exploration of our solar system—the companion volume to the remarkable BBC television program—Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen take us from the ice fountains of Enceladus to the liquid methane seas of Titan, from storms on Jupiter twice the size of Earth to the volcano-rich surface of Io. We ponder the birth of the solar system billions of years ago, and the factors that gave Earth life—and maybe Mars in the not-too-distant past. We witness the formation of rocky inner worlds and the gas giants, and speculate on what lies beneath the surface of Europa—questions that a NASA/ESA mission might answer in 2020.
Wonders of the Solar System shows us our planetary neighborhood in all its glory.
