PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- While we may know a great deal about the planets in our "neighborhood," the lonely outer stretches of the solar system are now targets for a new generation of space missions. Traveling to Outer Planets introduces viewers to scientists planning these explorations and highlights some of the mysteries they hope to solve. Does the icy surface of Jupiter's moon, Europa, contain a liquid ocean with possible life? Can water and land survive the thick, foggy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan? What can be learned from asteroids? Scientists and researchers are preparing for the day when astronauts may visit these unexplored worlds. Part of the multivolume Cosmic Odyssey Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"...exceptional...Well narrated...concepts and theories are explained with dazzling graphics, simulations, animations and occasional NASA supplied real visual data...The lure of cosmic mysteries in this excellent series is compelling and thought-provoking. This series will be very useful for high school astronomy and physics courses..."- School Library Journal (Sept 2003)
"This series would be a great addition to the astronomy classroom. The videos will pique the interest of students and encourage new approaches to the subject. They are a great introduction and should provide new ideas to explore. Highly recommended."- Library Media Connection (Jan 2004)
