Landscapes of the Solar System
By
Aina Bestard, Antonio Hales
Although this is labeled as a children’s book, it is really a book for any of us who look up at the night sky with wonder and awe. The exquisite illustrations in the book take their inspiration from the engravings and lithographs made in the 19th-century that helped to spread the science of astronomy to the general public before there was technology to do so photographically. This one is going right on my coffee table at home to be enjoyed before I go outside and look up.
