Description

We have begun to explore the worlds beyond Earth. Dedicated planetary scientists have spent their careers studying and exploring these worlds by telescope and through space missions. Here, 10 of these scientists describe their favorite worlds, what they have discovered, and what drives them to explore. Each tells a personal story. Together, the essays range across the breadth of the Solar System -- from hellish Mercury to the snows of Pluto. The stories these pioneers tell range from telescopic to robotic exploration, from personal adventures in the Antarctic to painting planetary landscapes, from the joys of success to the frustrations of failure. “Visit fascinating new worlds and explore them through the eyes of a group of legendary planetary scientists.” Illus.
