Description
What are other planets like? Do they have air and clouds? Water and rocks> Could we walk on the moons of Saturn? Are there planets orbiting around other stars?

Using colorfully dramatic but scientifically accurate illustrations, as well as the latest spacecraft and Hubble Space Telescope portraits of other worlds, Terence Dickinson answers these questions and more in OTHER WORLDS, a fact- and fun-filled tour of the solar system's 9 planets, their 61 known moons and the suspected planets of other stars in our galaxy.

Stand on the rim of a Martian canyon, watch solar systems being born, visit a sulfur-spewing volcano on Jupiter's moon Io, plunge into the red atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan and gaze at the swirling surface of a brown dwarf. Travel with award-winning astronomy writer Dickinson on this galactic odyssey in OTHER WORLDS, his latest book for young readers.
