Seeing the Solar System Fun, easy astronomy projects that let you unlock the secrets of our solar system Whether you’re a veteran sky watcher or an amateur astronomer, Seeing the Solar System will take you on a fascinating journey to objects in our solar system beyond the naked eye. This entertaining hands–on guide gives you dozens of stimulating astronomy projects and experiments that you can perform at home or in the field.
