  • Product Description

    Uranus is the most distant planet in the solar system yet to be visited by a spacecraft from Earth. Unknown to ancient astronomers, the planet was revealed to us only through the development of the telescope and the observations of Herschel. The flyby of Uranus in January 1986 by the NASA Voyager 2 spacecraft has provided us with astonishing new information on this planet, its rings, satellites, and surrounding environment. The first book to provide a complete look at the best of Voyager 2's photographs of Uranus from its January 1986 mission, the Atlas of Uranus presents a comprehensive historical background to the discovery of Uranus along with its satellites and rings. The book then gives details of the Voyager mission, allowing the reader to share in the quantum leap in our understanding of the new Uranian environment that has emerged from the Voyager encounter.
