 From the sun to Pluto, including all the planets, several moons, and even asteroids and meteors, in stunning photos and simulations from Magellan, Voyager, and other space probes, together with Simon's trademark prose, clear and concise. Handsome diagrams show relative sizes and vital statistics of the planets, pinpoint the solar system's location in our galaxy, and map the planets' orbits. It would be hard to imagine a better introduction to our little corner of the universe. Index. (Nonfiction. 5+)
