Exploring Our Solar System

Five billion years ago, a starship passing through our region of space would not have slowed down for a second look. There was nothing to see. No Earth, no sun, no solar system. Nothing but a huge tenuous cloud of gas. Now, as the result of billions of years of evolution, and centuries of scientific research, we can chart our way through the solar system . . . with Sally Ride as our navigator. Starting from the sun and working outward, Sally Ride and Tam O’Shaughnessy take readers on a tour of the nine planets and explain the formation, current conditions, and possibility of life on each. Filled with crisp, full-color photographs and lucid prose, this comprehensive volume untangles the complexities of space and allows readers to feel like masters of the universe.

Full-color photographs from the NASA files. Astronaut Sally Ride describes one of NASA's greatest accomplishments: the 12-year interplanetary flight of the Voyager space probes. Ride gives an insider's account of the mission, the spacecraft, and some of their truly remarkable discoveries--including previously unseen rings around the planets and unsuspected volcanoes on the solar system's moons.

Illus. with full-color photos. With the help of eye-opening NASA photos of the earth, the authors explain some of the relationships among the earth's physical systems--including the oceans, atmosphere, and climate--and icecaps, landmasses, and weather systems. They go on to explore the place life occupies on earth, from plankton in the oceans to human beings everywhere, whose impact on the planet is visible even from space. "

O'Shaughnessy, Tam

In 1997, NASA's Pathfinder began a new era in Mars exploration when it touched down and, along with its tiny rover, Sojourner, explored the Martian surface for the first time in 20 years. In December 1999, a new NASA spacecraft will land on Mars, to  be followed by several more missions over the coming decade. In  The Mystery of Mars, former astronaut Sally Ride and science teacher Tam O'Shaughnessy draw on the latest Pathfinder data, as well as decades of study of Mars, to present a comprehensive overview of Earth's nearest neighbor. With its thin atmosphere, rocky canyons, extinct volcanoes, and icy polar regions, Mars has many things in common with Earth--and may have even had life. Comparing the two planets' evolution, geology, and geography, the authors explain what we know about Mars today and what we hope to learn about it in the future. With lavish color photographs, this engaging and accessible introduction to the Red Planet is the ideal guide to this new age of Mars research.From the Hardcover edition.
