The exploration of our solar system by spacecraft has been one of the greatest scientific achievements of the twentieth century. The mapping of other worlds has resulted from numerous space missions by NASA, extending over many years. The data from these planetary missions have been synthesised by the US Geological Survey to produce detailed maps. Every planet, moon, or small body investigated in NASA missions is discussed and where appropriate mapped. Geological maps, reference maps, shaded relief maps, synthetic aperture radar mosaics and colour photomosaics marvellously present the features of planets and their satellites. This is truly a 'road map' of our solar system. All maps are fully indexed. The gazetteer lists the names of all features officially approved by the International Astronomical Union. The NASA Atlas of the Solar System is the definitive reference atlas for planetary science.

Seller's Description:
Fine. VG minus Dj. Folio-over 12-15" tall Fine with no wear or markings and bright; but the jacket has some inside tape repairs at the edges-still looks pretty nice. A very large and tall books with much on the planets in order of their position in the solar system with the greatest of maps and plates and photos: and in the text an explanation of how these so-called "satellite" images come about in so many different processes. An exciting reference work in full color and great text perhaps in simplicity for pros, but very neat and comprehensive to most-and with the imprint of the Cambridge University Press working with NASA! ! This first edition jacket varies from the later edition showing the surface of a planet in brown tones. This price also includes the cost of extra shipping via USPS mail.
