This is a big collection of photos of the planets and moons of our solar system, as taken (mostly) by NASA probes. Reading this book, and marveling at the variety and beauty, I was amused by the constant refrain of, "Yeah, no one knows why this moon looks the way it does. The planetologists don't even have any good theories. Same with this one. And this one. And this one . . . " Recommended.
