These images are a spectacular reaffirmation that we are privileged to live in the greatest age of exploration the world has ever known.'From Arthur C. Clarke's forewordSince the 1960s the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been sending unmanned satellites to explore the planets, moons, and sun. These probes have amassed a stunning visual record of other worlds, revealing not one but scores of new frontiers, from rustred Mars to the ethereal rings of Saturn.Author Michael Benson has spent years compiling and digitally processing the best of these images. In Beyond this 'deskbound cosmic pilgrim' (Atlantic Monthly) has pulled together the most spectacular of them into one volume that presents these photographs for the first time as art. The resulting book consists of two parts: the first is a spectacular visual tour of the solar system, with views every bit as compelling as the work of the great landscape photographers on earth; the second is a series of beautifully written essays that explain the story behind these photographs: the history of the probes' journeys, how they work, and why they were built. This book shows us how modern science has revealed the astonishing beauty and mystery of the solar system and its aweinspiring worlds far beyond any places human beings have ever directly observed.
