description: When Galileo first glimpsed Neptune almost four hundred years ago, he mistook it for a star. Only since the Voyager 2 spacecraft whizzed past the eighth planet in 1989 have we begun to understand this turbulent world. With stunning photographs, from Neptune's clouds of methane-ice to its Great Dark Spot, a hurricane big enough to swallow Earth, this masterful introduction to the furthest reaches of our solar system will delight any young astronomer. Another journey in Seymour Simon's bestselling series about the stars and planets.
