From the Back Cover

Born almost 5 billion years ago at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, our Solar System is a place filled with mystery and wonder. In the last fifty years, we have learned more than ever about the farthest reaches of our world. With dramatic full-color photographs and spacecraft images, Our Solar System takes young readers on a fascinating tour of the sun, the eight planets and their moons, plus asteroids and comets. Award-winning science writer Seymour Simon presents this new, updated edition of his much-admired book about the vast and mystifying part of the universe that we live in.

Review Quotes

"The images, many of which are from NASA, are remarkably crisp and more detailed than before. ...the brief overview of the solar system and the spacecraft sent to explore it make this title a worthwhile consideration for school and public libraries." - School Library Journal
