| Publisher Description: Travel the near and far reaches of the solar system in this lively, beautifully illustrated Smithsonian nonfiction book Ready for a wondrous celestial journey? How about a trip to our close neighbor Mars, home to the largest volcano in the solar system? Or to Europa, a watery lunar world with a really deep ocean? Or beyond the beyond to mysterious Planet 9, an unseen giant lurking in the far outer regions of space? This extraordinary book puts you right there: breaking through colorful gaseous hazes; exploring the surface of red-hot or ice-cold planets; hurtling through rings of flying, frozen ice chunks; and rocketing on out to deep space. Astronomer David Aguilar is our navigator on these seven wonderful trips through our solar system--journeys that someday may actually happen The SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION is the world's largest museum and research complex.
