A futuristic journey through the cosmos with eight gorgeous pull-out posters to Venus (See you at Cloud 9 Observatory), Mars (Visit the historic sites), Ceres (Queen of the asteroid belt), Jupiter (Experience the mighty auroras) with turquoise blue and purple and lights on silvery balloons, Europa (Discover life under the ice), Titan (Ride the tides through the throat of Kraken), and Enceladus (More than 100 breath-taking geysers!) among them. Professor of Earth and Space Exploration in Arizona, the main belt Asteroid 8146 Jim Bell is named in the author's honour. We are welcomed to his 2218 edition travel guide to see the marvels of space. Jim Bell starts from close-to-Earth destinations in and around the solar system, moves out to the asteroid belt and to the outer solar system, and even includes the newly discovered TRAPPIST-No.1 System. You will find a treasure trove of useful historical and scientific facts, figures and information, from what causes Jupiter's auroras or 'Northern Lights' to why Titan provides a unique window into understanding the early history of our own Earth. Spectacular photos and inspirational posters guide us to Moon's intact lava-tube caves which are geological wonderlands. We witness a celestial drama unfold at Mercury's Double Sunrise Resort and Spa, visit Mars and climb the tallest volcano in the solar system, enjoy a romantic dinner at Phobos's Cucina Panorama while watching the surface of Mars drift past, take an impressive Low-g concert, one of the Deimos City Jazz Festival's live performances, zoom through the famous rings of Saturn on a stunning shuttle tour or hit the slopes of Pluto for some of the best skiing beyond the Jupiter system. Learn the history of near-Earth asteroids, things to do and places to stay and what not to miss and what to beware of. A cosmic travel guidebook imported from the USA, with stunning colour artworks, 160 large pages.
