Our Solar System by Seymour Simon NEW Hardcover

Our Solar System by Seymour Simon. New, Hardcover. "Our solar system was born almost five billion years ago at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. In over fifty dramatic, full-color photographs and an easy-to-read text, award-winning author Seymour Simon takes you on a fascinating tour of the nine planets, dozens of moons, and thousands of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets that travel around our sun. First Simon explores the star at the center of our Solar System - from the constant nuclear explosions at its core to the giant storms on its surface as geysers of flaming gas over a hundred thousand miles long rise and fall in just a few hours. You will also learn about the four rocky inner planets, from airless Mercury to fiery Venus, her sister planet, Earth, and mysterious Mars. Then join the thrilling Voyager missions to explore the four gaseous outer planets: Gigantic Jupiter, ringed Saturn, tilted Uranus - the planet lying on its side - and windy Neptune. You will finish your journey at distant pluto, then visit the asteroid belt and examine comets, the 'dirty snowballs' in space. A companion volume to Simon's landmark series of individual books about each of the planets, the sun, stars, and other space sights, Our Solar System will introduce you to some of the most amazing mysteries in the universe." Retail price is $19.99. There is a small black line in marker on the bottom of the book (not on the cover) to prevent returns to the publisher.
