Series: AAS-IOP Astronomy

Updating and expanding on the second edition of The Ringed Planet, this new edition includes discussions of the ring systems of Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, and the newly discovered rings around small bodies in the outer solar system, placing them in the context of what we’ve learned about ring systems from Saturn. Using a non-technical approach, this book provides physical explanations for the phenomena observed in Saturn’s system and other ring systems, featuring over 100 images, animations, and easy-to-understand graphics from the Cassini mission.

Key Features:

Explores and explains the fundamental processes that shape not just the Saturn system, but planets and moons in general. Expanded to include newly-discovered rings of dwarf planets and small bodies in the outer solar system. Covers the only extraterrestrial lakes known in the solar system, geysers erupting from Enceladus’s subsurface ocean, Earth-sized atmospheric storms, mountains of particles within Saturn’s rings, and many more discoveries from Cassini’s exploration of the Saturn system. Previews future missions, including Dragonfly and the Uranus Orbiter and Probe. Beautifully illustrated journey of discovery through the Saturn system.
