Weird Worlds, 2013 Bizarre Bodies of the Solar System and Beyond Astronomers' Universe Series
Auteur : Seargent David A. J.
In ?Weird Worlds,? the author discusses planets where temperatures are so high that it rains molten iron, and others so cold that liquid methane floods across plains of ice! Worlds are described where the lightest element acts like a metal and where winds blow at thousands of miles per hour ? as well as possible planets whose orbits are essentially parabolic.
In keeping with previous titles in David Seargent?s ?Weird? series, ?Weird Worlds? contains several projects that astronomers of all levels can undertake.
Presents fascinating other worlds, including planets, moons, and asteroids, that seem extremely weird to us here on Earth
Contains "hands-on" projects in which readers may participate and which help readers to understand better what they are reading
