Understanding The Solar System - 3rd Edition, 2025

The Earth’s nearest neighbours are a fascinating array of planets, moons and asteroids, illuminated by an equally enthralling star, the Sun. Join us as we journey around the Solar System and uncover the most fascinating and awe-inspiring facts about our home star system. We’ll stop off at familiar faces like the Earth, Moon and Mars before journeying to distant, far-off wonders beyond the asteroid belt, such as Neptune, Pluto and beyond to the furthest trans-Neptunian object out there, ‘FarFarOut’. We will also touch on fascinating theories, such as a distant ninth planet and even Nemesis, the sun’s ‘evil twin’. Strap in and prepare to blast off on an epic voyage of discovery.
