"In this new view of the planets, images from NASA and other space agencies reveal how volcanoes, wind, asteroids, and flowing fluids have shaped the entire solar system - and tell us about the history and future of our Earth. Planetology pairs dramatic images of Earth's terrain with the latest, astonishing views of alien surfaces - examining landforms never before seen and highlighting, for the first time, the similarities between Earth and its sister planets." "Using the very best and latest NASA images - including those from the Cassini mission to Saturn and the fleet of spacecraft on and around Mars - Planetology examines the forces that shape the solar system, comparing mountains, craters, volcanoes, glaciers, and other landscapes across its myriad planets and moons."--BOOK JACKET.
Secrets in the Skies delves deep into the life and discoveries of the world's most famous stargazer, Galileo Galilei, and the star-studded history of astronomy, from our prehistoric ancestors to the work of today's most brilliant scientists. In this stunningly detailed visual retelling of the birth of science, the solar system is brought to life in glorious full-colour, with breathtaking illustrations by James Weston Lewis. From his early days as a young boy in Pisa, to his fiery battles with the Roman Catholic Church, readers follow the remarkable journey undertaken by Galileo in his search for truth. As the pages turn, you can witness the ancient origins of celestial examinations, Galileo's ground-breaking invention of the telescope, his controversial trials before the Inquisition, and the crucial discoveries of the stargazer's final days. Readers young and old will marvel at the beautiful and engaging artwork, and be swept away by the dramatic story behind Galileo's stellar scientific breakthroughs, richly described by author Giles Sparrow.
Our Solar System constitutes of Sun in the center, and they are the nine planets, more than 60 moons are there, millions of rocky meteors, and billions of frozen comets. Every planet of the solar system lying in its orbit revolves around the Sun. A tip of Sun’s rays even can create disaster to an extent of 160-kilometer stretch. Few mountains found on the Earth, actually are the pieces of the planet Mars. One light year is equivalent to 10,000 billion kilometers. Our solar system is shifting towards Hercules constellation of stars at a speed of 19.3 kilometers per second. The sky of the earth is blue; the sky of Mars is pinkish-orange because of the dust present in the atmosphere. For thousands of years, the man had no knowledge about the solar system. He had believed that earth alone was the center point of the universe. Nicolas Copernicus, Galileo Galilee, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton well-known astronomers by studying the speed and movements of the planets have today brought to our knowledge that Sun is the center point of the solar system. Among the planets of the solar system only Venus and mercury are not the planets who have their own moons, rather earth one satellite is the moon, Mars has 2 moons, Jupiter has 63 moons, Saturn has 60, Uranus has 27 and Neptune has 13 moons. The energy that reaches from the Sun to the earth, reaches an electric charge of 1.37-kilowatt electricity per meter.
How was the solar system created? Why are the Sun and Moon the same size in the sky? These are just some of the questions answered in this exciting book about our seemingly endless solar system. Readers will love the problem-solving focus that makes space exploration an adventure in innovation.
This book will "take you on a journey" to the Moon, Mars, Saturn and the Sun, to view some of the anomalies that taxpayer-funded space agencies have ignored or even lied about. If scientists discovered irrefutable evidence of past or present extra-terrestrial life in the Solar System, would they tell us the truth the truth about this?
This is a large print volume that provides the general public with an overview of our knowledge of the Solar System today. It provides an historical perspective on the progression of our acquisition of evidence about our the local neighborhood of the Universe within which we reside. There are no photographs or illustrations.

Science and Spirituality have been opposing forces for some time now. Both important fields in their own right, which influence our lives, are starting to re-align. In this book we look at what we scientifically know about the planets in our Solar system. This book is part scientific and part spiritually channelled. In it we are also introduced to the Solar council who are a group of entities/representatives from each of the planets within the solar system that make up the council. They enlighten us as to the nature of our planetary system and the reason for the planets existence. They introduce us to life upon each planet and some of the moons at varying dimensional levels. This introductory book, that will lead to others, sheds light on the premise that our solar system is a school of learning. It also provides scientific evidence as to how the fields of science and spirituality are aligning.
