This review is from: Scientific American Planets Windows (CD-ROM)
This book is another entry in the "Scientific American Library", surely one of the greatest collections of scientific writing in history. Not only are they informative and interesting, they are also beautiful with color illustrations, diagrams, maps,etc.
DO NOT GET THE PAPERBACK VERSIONS!!

In this work, one explores the Solar System with the help of incredible shots from Voyager, the pair of exploring satellites launched some time ago. These spacecraft, using gravity as both a booster and tether, visited each planet, sending information so vast and so unexpected that theorists are just now beginning to understand all the ramifications.

The origins of our planetary system is explained brilliantly with diagrams and color paintings. Then we take a tour of each planet and learn a lot more than Mars is red and Saturn has rings. The uniqueness of each world can be explored in this book so take your time and enjoy.
