Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
For thousands of years mankind had the sun revolving around the Earth. Then came Kepler, Copernicus and Galileo and the Earth and the planets revolved around the sun and the solar system was born. This book explains everything that the layman needs to know about the solar system including the latest discoveries from the space probes to the planets and the moon. It is lavishly illustrated with photographs from space missions as well as terrestrial based telescopes. It is the most complete guide on the solar system for the layman published.
