Title: Best reference book on the solar system I've seen
Product review: This was the first reference book on the solar system I ever purchased and although I keep looking for a more up to date reference, nothing else compares to this one in scope and depth of content while remaining an excellent book for laypersons with a keen interest in astronomy.This book has wonderful photographs as they all do but also explains the workings of the solar system in much greater detail. The section on the sun is over 50 pages long with explanations of black body radiation, absorption lines, doppler shift and multiple sections on the chromosphere, sunspots, flares, the corona, etc. Coverage of the planets is no less detailed.I sincerely hope that this reference is updated soon, although even the out of print editions will remain excellent references for years to come.
