Résumé
The bodies of our solar system have orbited continuously
around the Sun since their formation, but they have not
always been there, and conditions have not always been as
they are today. The Story of the Solar System explains how
our solar system came into existence, how it has evolved
and how it might end billions of years from now. After a
brief historical introduction, the book illustrates the
birth of the Sun, and then explains the steps that built up
the bodies of the Solar System. Using vivid illustrations,
the planets, moons, asteroids and comets are described in
detail. Comparison of these objects, and analysis of how
they have changed and evolved since birth, is followed by a
look towards the end of the solar system's existence. Fully
illustrated with beautiful, astronomically accurate
paintings, this book will fascinate anyone with an interest
in our solar system.
