Overview:

This unique guide to our Solar System actually puts you in the thick of Saturn's rings, where countless billions of particles - some as large as basketballs - circle in perpetual orbit. Lands you on Jupiter's battered moon, Callisto, to stand at the foot of giant ice spires. Sends you years into space to Pluto - is it a planet? A comet? Something else? You'll visit one body turning inside out, and another barely more than a mile wide - but so pure a chunk of nickel-iron that it will be worth a trillion dollars to the first explorers who claim it. Each world is as real, as distinct, as compelling as our own, each yielding its secrets to the data-gathering missions of recent spacecraft. This is a dazzling voyage of discovery.
