Description

*I have always been fascinated with the Universe, how it came into being, how our Galaxy and in particular the Solar System was formed, whether there are other systems with alien planets like the planet Earth, which contains an advanced civilization such as ours. Share A Journey with me as I take you through our Solar System. *The book is about a journey of discovery around and about our Solar System, to explore how it was formed and how eventually the Sun and the planets came into being. Our Universe came into being around 13.82 billion years ago, and the formation of our Barred Spiral Galaxy came about 13.21 billion years ago after the collapse of a giant molecular cloud. Finally, about 4.54 billion years ago in between one of the Galaxy`s spiral arms, a cloud of interstellar gas collapsed, and thus our solar system was born. *The contents of the book cover many varied aspects of the Solar System including- * How the Solar System came into being and how it formed into its present structure. * Details about planet sizes, their rotation tilts, and distances from the Sun. * Looking at the structure of the Sun, its magnetic fields and solar winds. * Looking in-depth at the inner rocky planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and then examining their structure and composition, and mainland features. * Examining the Asteroid/Kuiper Belts plus the Oort Cloud surrounding the solar system. * Looking in-depth at the outer gas planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planet Pluto, their structure and composition, plus their fascinating moons. * The story of the search for alien solar systems containing Earth-like planets. * Details about the amazing array of land and space-based optical and radio telescopes, and their amazing images of the planets, galaxies, and possible alien solar systems. * The author has attempted to make it a more interesting experience for the reader with the use of colorful good quality and high definition images, accompanied by concise and succinct text to explain what you are looking in a clear and uncluttered manner. There is also a comprehensive list of references and sources of information, for those readers who wish to learn in-depth more about the features they are looking at. Now take a journey of discovery around and about our wonderful Solar System.
