Our Universe came into being around 13.82 billion years ago, and the formation of our Barred Spiral Galaxy came about 13.21 billion years ago after the collapse of a giant molecular cloud. Finally, about 4.54 billion years ago in between one of the Galaxy`s spiral arms, a cloud of interstellar gas collapsed, and thus our solar system was born. *The contents of the book cover many varied aspects of the Solar System including- * How the Solar System came into being and how it formed into its present structure. * Details about planet sizes, their rotation tilts, and distances from the Sun. * Looking at the structure of the Sun, its magnetic fields and solar winds. * Looking in-depth at the inner rocky planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and then examining their structure and composition, and mainland features. * Examining the Asteroid/Kuiper Belts plus the Oort Cloud surrounding the solar system. * Looking in-depth at the outer gas planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planet Pluto, their structure and composition, plus their fascinating moons. * The story of the search for alien solar systems containing Earth-like planets. * Details about the amazing array of land and space-based optical and radio telescopes, and their amazing images of the planets, galaxies, and possible alien solar systems. * The author has attempted to make it a more interesting experience for the reader with the use of colorful good quality and high definition images, accompanied by concise and succinct text to explain what you are looking in a clear and uncluttered manner.
