The Nature of Planets, Dwarf Planets, and Space Objects

By: Anderson, Michael

Peering through a telescope, you are likely to encounter a host of celestial bodies speckling the night sky, anything from another planet to a comet. Careful observation has shown that while each object follows a unique orbit or trajectory, these entities also share numerous qualities and together provide critical information about space and the universe as a whole. This engaging volume surveys the characteristics of the diverse objects that make up the solar system and their distinguishing features.
