icy new worlds unveiled

On August 24, 2006, the Solar System lost its ninth planet! Pluto, once considered an planet, is now classified as a 'dwarf planet'. This book brings together amazing findings from the cutting edge of research. Illustrated with magnificent color images, it explains the importance of the small bodies in the outer Solar System and also shows the interrelations between them and sets them in context with planets in the inner Solar System.--Back cover.
