A thrilling journey through the solar system that merges imagination with hard science. Imagine traveling to the far reaches of the solar system, pausing for close-up encounters with distant planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, accompanied by a congenial guide to the science behind what you see.What, for instance, would it be like to fly in Titan s hazy atmosphere?To walk across the surface of Mercury? To feel the rumble of a volcano brewing on one of Jupiter's largest moons?In Daydreaming in the Solar System, John Moores and Jesse Rogerson bring that dream to virtual life.Through a combination of story and science they let readers know what such an otherworldly experience would actually look, feel, and even taste like. With data gathered over the decades by our robotic spacecraft, and with Michelle Parsons s evocative illustrations, Moores and Rogerson boldly take you where no living being has gone before, along the way giving an engaging and accurate explanation of the science.Where Carl Sagan s storied spaceship of the imagination provided a window to outer space, Daydreaming in the Solar System opens a door, inviting readers to step through and truly explore the strange new worlds of the solar system.Undertaking this interplanetary journey powered by hard science, there is no limit to where your daydreams can take you.
