Seeing the Solar System Fun, easy astronomy projects that let you unlock the secrets of our solar system… Whether you’re a veteran sky watcher or an amateur astronomer, Seeing the Solar System will take you on a fascinating journey to objects in our solar system beyond the naked eye. This entertaining hands-on guide gives you dozens of stimulating astronomy projects and experiments that you can perform at home or in the field.
