Geared toward students, this guide provides an overview of the small bodies that orbit the sun. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to the Universe series covers asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets—those small bodies that revolve the Sun—and provides readers with the most up-to-date understanding of the current state of scientific knowledge about them. Scientifically sound, but written with the student in mind, Asteroids, Comets, and Dwarf Planets is an excellent first step for researching the exciting scientific discoveries of the smallest celestial bodies in the solar system. The book will introduce students to all of the areas of research surrounding the subject, answering many intriguing questions. It defines a dwarf planet and explains why Pluto is one. It looks at how such small bodies form, what they are made of, and what kind of atmospheres might they have. And it asks—and answers—whether asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets present a hazard to the Earth or to spacecraft.

Dwarf planets (which were formerly called asteroids except for the planet Pluto), and the smaller Solar System bodies still called asteroids today, are making front page news, particularly those that are newly discovered and those that might present a hazard to life on Earth by impacting our planet. In this age of giant telescopes and space probes, these small Solar System bodies have advanced from being tiny points of light to bodies worthy of widespread study. This book describes the dwarf planets and asteroids themselves, their origins, orbits, and composition, and at how amateur astronomers can play a part in their detection, tracking, and imaging. The book is divided into two parts. Part I describes physical properties (including taxonomic types) of dwarf planets and asteroids, how they formed in the early life of the Solar System, and how they evolved to their present positions, groups, and families. It also covers the properties used to define these small Solar System bodies: magnitude, rotation rates (described by their light-curves), and orbital characteristics. Part II opens with a description of the hardware and software an amateur or practical astronomer needs to observe and also to image asteroids. Then numerous observing techniques are covered in depth. Finally, there are lists of relevant amateur and professional organizations and how to submit your own observations to them.

The worlds beyond our own have captivated human imagination for centuries. From the ancient astronomers who tracked the movements of celestial bodies to the modern space probes exploring distant moons, our fascination with planets and their companions has only deepened with time. This book, Planets and Moons, invites you on an immersive journey through the solar system and beyond, uncovering the extraordinary diversity, mysteries, and dynamic forces that shape these celestial spheres. Within these pages, you will explore the planets in detail—each with its unique characteristics, weather systems, and histories of formation. You will travel to their moons, some of which may harbour the conditions for life. We will trace the scientific breakthroughs that revolutionized our understanding, from Galileo’s telescope to modern-day robotic explorers sending back breath-taking images from alien landscapes. What makes this book “Planets and Moons” stand out is its depth and clarity. Instead of simply skimming through facts and figures, this book dives deeper, weaving together science, history, and discovery in a way that is both informative and engaging. Every concept is presented in clear, accessible language, ensuring that even complex ideas can be grasped without difficulty. While mathematical principles are fundamental to planetary science, this book focuses on the big picture, introducing only the most essential formulas with practical examples to enhance understanding. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive yet approachable guide, one that not only educates but also sparks curiosity and wonder. Whether you're an amateur astronomer, a student of the cosmos, or simply someone who has looked up at the night sky and wondered about the worlds beyond, this book is for you. So, let’s embark on this journey together, traveling through the vast and fascinating realm of planets and moons—where every world has a story to tell.

Planisphere and Starfinder is a practical guide to finding your way around the night sky. It demystifies astronomy and introduces basic stargazing techniques, enabling you to find and recognize objects with ease. A section on the Solar System shows you how to observe the Moon, planets, and other bodies such as comets and asteroids. It also gives advice on looking at eclipses and meteor showers. The central section of the book is a detailed guide to the constellations. Each entry in the guide is illustrated with a clear star chart, supported by graphics that show where in the world the constellation can be seen and explain the symbolic meaning of its star pattern. The key features for observation are presented in an accessible list supported by advice on how best to observe them. The final section is a month-by-month guide to the night sky. A double-page spread for each month highlights the features on view, while a large-scale chart shows you where to find the planets and a table of special events lists the dates of Moon phases, eclipses, and the best times to see the planets.
