Excellent- More about Invisible Solar System
The planets, stars, and other celestial bodies in our Solar System are surrounded by invisible spaces filled with unseen forces, such as gravity, magnetic fields, and subatomic particles. Invisible Solar System explores these hidden regions, revealing the connections between them and their impact on the formation and evolution of the Solar System.

When we gaze upon the starry night sky, our eyes are peering through vast, unseen expanses of our own Solar System. The planets, appearing as bright specks, have been unveiled as worlds through space missions. However, the invisible spaces between them hold equal intrigue. Unseen forces, such as the effect of gravity, spiraling magnetic fields, and subatomic particles, originate from the Sun. Celestial bodies too small to be seen form unexpected patterns, while atoms and nuclei are hidden even within our own bodies.
Invisible Solar System weaves the history of discovery with clear explanations, peeling back the cloak of invisibility that shrouds myriad aspects of the local region of space.
Gravity, once perceived as an invisible force, is now revealed as a curvature of spacetime, enabling remarkable patterns to form. The smallest particles possess other structures that enable them to interact, powering the present Solar System while also providing clues to nuclear events past and present.
Long-range forces of electricity and magnetism connect the Sun and planets, dominating the hot plasma gas of space while protecting us from cosmic rays through multiple layers of magnetic shields.
