Description
The Planets is an awe-inspiring and informative journey through the Solar System, featuring 3D globes and terrain models built using data gathered by NASA and the European Space Agency. The globes not only show detailed views of planets' outer layers and rocky surfaces but also reveal their inner layers, all the way down to their cores. You can even move in for a closer look with 3D terrain models that take you on a trip to the surfaces of the rocky planets.
As well as covering the Sun, the planets, hundreds of moons, and thousands of asteroids and comets, The Planets includes all the major Solar System missions, right up to the latest Moon missions and Mars rovers. Timelines explore our relationship with each planet, and infographics present fascinating and planet facts.
Fully updated with the latest research findings, data, and images, The Planets is ideal for anyone interested in space exploration and all armchair astronauts or astronomers.
