Isaac Asimov – Jupiter, The Largest Planet

For centuries men have speculated about Jupiter, the largest of the planets, and its mysterious Red Spot. Now America’s leading science writer brings together all that is known about Jupiter–its discovery, its composition, its radiowave emissions, and its influence on other heavenly bodies, including Earth.

Isaac Asimov looks at Jupiter not only with the eyes of a scientist, but also with the imagination of the science-fiction writer. In addition to scientific information, Dr. Asimov has given us much more–what the sky would look like from Jupiter and from its satelites, what possibilities are indicated by its composition and giant size, including the possibility of other Jupiters.

Fifty-four original tables convey at a glance information and relationships that indicate the known and the possible. Even those with no previous interest in astronomy will be caught up in the great adventure of investigating the planet Jupiter, with Isaac Asimov as the perfect guide.   źródło opisu: Okładka źródło okładki: Zdjęcie autorskie
