Take a dive down into the canyons of Mars; ride across the rings of Saturn; fly over the volcanoes of Io, Jupiter\'s so-called Pizza Moon; and sail through the fiery loops of gas That are constantly erupting from our sun. and Joe Zeff Design,Solar System gives us page after page of unique, detailed, and never-before-seen views, both photographic and computer-generated.
With hundreds of gorgeous images produced especially for this project and through a collaboration between NASA and the graphics experts at Planetary Visions Ltd.
Beginning with a fascinating overview and then organized by planet, in order of its distance from the sun,Solar System takes us on a trip across time and space That includes a front-row seat to the explosive birth of the Solar system, a journey to (and then deep inside) each of its eight planets, and even an in-depth Exploration of asteroids and comets.
