The Planets

From tiny Mercury to distant Neptune and Pluto, The Planets profiles each of the Solar System’s members in depth, featuring the latest imagery from space missions to the likes of Mercury, Mars and Saturn. The tallest mountains, the deepest canyons, the strongest winds, raging atmospheric storms, terrain studded with craters and vast worlds of ice are just some of the sights you’ll see on this tour of the planets. You’ll explore Saturn’s rings, a multitude of moons, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, see the tiny dwarf planets and learn about worlds beyond our Solar System.

Written and produced by the Astronomy Now team, The Planets is a 100-page guide that no astronomer should go without.
