“The nation’s go-to woman for all things space… her joy for the subject is boundless” —The Guardian

Take a new look at the world around you. Maggie Aderin-Pocock explores the mysteries of our cosmic neighborhood by answering:

• What is a planet?
• Is there life on Mars?
• What makes Earth so special?

Questions about our Solar System have fascinated us for centuries. Based on the latest scientific research, The Story of the Solar System will help you see the planets around us in a whole new light. Using colorful and easy-to-follow infographics, each planet becomes a character with a story of its own to tell, including:

• Jupiter, the King of the Solar System
• The ice oddity, Uranus
• The outlier planet-but-not-a-planet, Pluto

As space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock shows us, the story of Earth is best understood as part of its larger family, and The Story of the Solar System will bring that family to life.
