# The Story of the Solar System by Maggie Aderin-Pocock (Hardcover)

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.**  
  
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 colourful and easy-to-follow infographics, each planet becomes a character with a story of its own to tell, from Jupiter the King of the Solar System to ice oddity Uranus and 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.
