Synopsis
Anyone with a little extra cash and a plane ticket can take a grand tour of Europe. But a tour of the Solar System? Now thats an experience deserving of the word grand. Introducing the new edition of the book praised as spectacular (London Times), eye-boggling (Future Life),concise and informative . . . the colorful and imaginative paintings steal the show (Chicago Tribune), with page after page filled with new color paintings, each the well-controlled evocation of a spectacular scene (Scientific American).Originally published in 1981 and revised in 1993, The Grand Tour, an astronomy classic with 196,000 copies in print, takes readers on an imaginative trip through every corner of the solar system, in much the same way as Cooks once took travelers on a grand tour of the Continent. Completely updated and revised and drawing on discoveries made by Voyager I and II, Magellan, Galileo, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Mars Global Surveyor Mission and other space initiatives, The Grand Tour is a dazzling journey that combines lush art and up-to-the-minute science. One hundred new paintings give travelers an unprecedented view of phenomena such as Saturns rings from Saturn itself; the rusty-red dune fields of Mars; the rugged surface of Mercury, saturated with impact craters; and the Kuiper Belt of planetesimals, the largest of which is Plutonow considered a half-planet. From the vast reaches of Jupiter to tiny frozen Rhea, like a snowball orbiting around Saturn, it is a journey of astonishing proportions., Anyone with a little extra cash and a plane ticket can take a "grand tour" of Europe. But a tour of the Solar System? Now that's an experience deserving of the word grand . Introducing the new edition of the book praised as "spectacular" ( London Times ), "eye-boggling" ( Future Life ),"concise and informative . . . the colorful and imaginative paintings steal the show" ( Chicago Tribune ), with "page after page filled with new color paintings, each the well-controlled evocation of a spectacular scene" ( Scientific American ).Originally published in 1981 and revised in 1993, The Grand Tour , an astronomy classic with 196,000 copies in print, takes readers on an imaginative trip through every corner of the solar system, in much the same way as Cook's once took travelers on a grand tour of the Continent. Completely updated and revised and drawing on discoveries made by Voyager I and II , Magellan , Galileo , the Hubble Space Telescope , the Mars Global Surveyor Mission and other space initiatives, The Grand Tour is a dazzling journey that combines lush art and up-to-the-minute science. One hundred new paintings give travelers an unprecedented view of phenomena such as Saturn's rings from Saturn itself; the rusty-red dune fields of Mars; the rugged surface of Mercury, saturated with impact craters; and the Kuiper Belt of planetesimals, the largest of which is Pluto-now considered a half-planet. From the vast reaches of Jupiter to tiny frozen Rhea, like a snowball orbiting around Saturn, it is a journey of astonishing proportions., Hurricanes so enormous that the earth itself could be lost in one; a volcano larger than the state of Missouri and higher than Everest; a planet with a billion moons; a planet that rotates on its side; worlds made of solid ice; a world where it rains gasoline. These are not inventions of fantasy or science fiction, but are places that really exist-in our own solar system. Now with 190,000 copies in print, here is a spectacular Grand Tour of the solar system featuring a unique blend of science and art-photographs along with dazzling full-color paintings, drawings, and maps based on years of astronomer William Hartmann's research, personal observation, and interviews with colleagues. In text and diagrams, too, The Grand Tour explains how the strange and uncanny worlds on the journeys came to be, and what it would be like to actually set foot upon them today. The book includes an atlas of the planets and their satellites, and of the Earth's moon. Complete with a selection of previously unpublished photographs taken by the Apollo astronauts, and by the Mariner, Viking, and Pioneer planetary probes, The Grand Tour is unique and breathtaking, majestic and eerie, and wonderful, taking the reader to more, and to the beyond.
