HAA-Recommended Pick of the day Books
[The New Solar System (4th Ed.)] The New Solar System (4th Ed.)
By J. Kelly Beatty, Carolyn Collins Petersen and Andrew Chaikin
Illustrations by Don Davis

With the explosion of information about the solar system and the recent intervention by the IAU revising the definition of “planet”, it isn’t surprising that a book on the solar system should be revised every few years. No doubt a 5th edition of this book will appear shortly, now that Pluto has to be deleted from the official list of planets.
This is a remarkable book, well worth buying. Each of its 28 chapters is written by a professional with expertise in that area of knowledge.
