Overview

Almost two billion miles from the sun is Uranus, a giant planet that "lies on its side" in space. Using new photographs taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft, which swept past Uranus in 1986, noted science writer Seymour Simon offers an up-to-date look at this distant world. He describes Uranus's hot, watery atmosphere and pale blue-green clouds, its strange magnetic "tail" and coal-black rings, as well as its fifteen exotic moons. One of these, Miranda, has the strangest mixture of surfaces ever found in the Solar System.

Illustrated with almost twenty stunning, full-color photographs, Uranus introduces readers to the wonder and mystery of the seventh planet.
