- More about Uranus and Neptune
Uranus and Neptune were unknown to the ancients and were only discovered in the 1780s and 1840s, respectively. Our first sighting and investigation of these planets have been hampered by their distance from Earth, with only one close encounter, Voyager 2 in the late 1980s. This book provides an informative and accessible introduction to Uranus, Neptune, and their moons, taking readers on the extraordinary journey from discovery to recent observations.

The most distant planets in our solar system, Uranus and Neptune, were unknown to the ancients until the 1780s and 1840s, respectively. Our first sighting and subsequent investigation of these planets have been hampered by their sheer distance from Earth, with only one close encounter, Voyager 2 in the late 1980s. The Voyager mission revealed many enticing details about the planets and their moons, but also left many more questions unanswered. This book is an informative and accessible introduction to Uranus, Neptune, and their moons, taking readers on the extraordinary journey from the discovery of these celestial bodies to the most recent observations made from space- and ground-based telescopes.
