This text should be useful for those with an interest in the night sky, and in particular the planets. With reviews of the latest discoveries, it clearly explains the features the observer can see and the best methods to use to see them.
For thousands of years, the planets of the Solar System have fascinated observers. Planets hold a special place in amateur astronomy, since even the smallest telescope reveals a wealth of detail: storms larger than the Earth, seas of solid lava, and bands of particles thousands of kilometres wide can all be seen with home equipment. The book leads the reader through the beauty and surprises the planets hold. With reviews of the latest discoveries, it clearly explains the features the observer can see and the best methods to use to see them. The photographs, including many from NASA , show images of the Solar System viewed both from space and through the world's most powerful telescopes. Over 200 easy-to-follow diagrams further enhance the text.
