Description

Featuring more than 200 intriguing images taken by space probes travelling billions of kilometres from Earth, The Solar System is an exhilarating exploration of the mysteries of our local planetary space.

Within the span of a human lifetime, our spacecraft have visited all eight planets of the Solar System, together with several dwarf planets, asteroids and comets.

We have mapped the surface of Mercury and Venus in exquisite detail, landed rovers on Mars, placed orbiters around Jupiter and Saturn, and parachuted to the surface of Titan.

Our emissaries have visited icy worlds five billion kilometres from home and continued onwards to reach interstellar space.

The pictures and science returned by these intrepid travellers have transformed our understanding of the Solar System in which we live.
