"When we look at a starry night sky, we are looking out through vast invisible expanses of our own Solar System. The planets appearing as a bright specks have been revealed as worlds by space missions. However, the invisible spaces between them are equally interesting. Unseen forces such as the effect of gravity, spiralling magnetic fields, and subatomic particles, originate from the Sun. Celestial bodies too small to see form unexpected patterns, while atoms and nuclei are hidden even if in our own bodies. Weaving the history of discovery with clear explanations, "The Invisible Solar System" pulls back the cloak of invisibility under which myriad aspects of the local region of space are connected"-- Provided by publisher.
