Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to the Solar System Astronomy Surrounding the Sun is a complex system of worlds with a wide range of conditions: eight major planets, many dwarf planets, hundreds of moons, and countless smaller objects. Thanks largely to visits by spacecraft, we can now envision the members of the solar system as other worlds like our own, each with its own chemical and geological history, and unique sights that interplanetary tourists may someday visit. Some have called these past few decades the "golden age of planetary exploration," comparable to the golden age of exploration in the fifteenth century, when great sailing ships plied Earth's oceans and humanity became familiar with our own planet's surface. Chapter Outline: Thinking Ahead Overview of Our Planetary System Composition and Structure of Planets Dating Planetary Surfaces Origin of the Solar System The Open Courses Library introduces you to the best Open Source Courses.
