Beyond Neptune lies the solar system's most scientifically
extraordinary and least explored region. Pluto, revealed by New
Horizons in 2015 to have active geological processes, towering
ice mountains, and a possible subsurface ocean, is just the most
famous of the hundreds of thousands of icy worlds in the Kuiper
Belt. Sedna orbits with a perihelion so distant that no known
force could have placed it there. Comets carry the organic chemistry
of the early outer solar system directly to our telescopes. And an
undiscovered planet the size of a super-Earth may be orchestrating
the orbits of the most distant known objects from hundreds of
AU away.
Beyond Neptune is a comprehensive, scientifically
rigorous guide to the outer solar system for adult readers who
want the full depth of one of planetary science's most rapidly
evolving fields.
Each chapter includes a Notable feature
and the book includes a 38-term specialist glossary.
Perfect for: Adults fascinated by planetary
science and the outer solar system, readers who followed
the New Horizons mission and want deeper context, science
enthusiasts who want rigorous depth without mathematics,
and anyone captivated by the frontier of solar system
exploration.
Beyond Neptune is where the solar system's
oldest secrets are preserved — and where its
most important questions are still open.
