Description:"The Planets" tells the story of each member of our solar family, from myth and history, astrology and science fiction, to the latest data from the modern era's robotic space probes.Whether revealing what hides behind Venus's cocoon of acid clouds, describing Neptune's "complex beauty in subtle stripes and spots of royal to navy blue, azure, turquoise, and aquamarine," or capturing first-hand the excitement at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory when the first pictures from Cassini at Saturn were recently beamed to Earth, Dava Sobel's unique tour of the Solar System is filled with fascination and beauty. In lyrical prose interspersed with poems by Tennyson, Blake and others, "The Planets" gives a breathtaking, intimate view of those heavenly bodies that have captured the imagination since humanity's first glimpse of the glittering night skies.Science, history, biography and storytelling, this book is timely and timeless, and of infinite relevance to this age in which new planets are being discovered elsewhere in our galaxy, around stars other than the Sun.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
