Solar System Guide: Planets, Asteroids, and Comets
Author: SpacePedia
Summary: This book explains the Solar System’s formation and architecture, and the Sun’s role in energy, space weather, and orbital dynamics. It examines all eight planets, major moon systems, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, meteors, and impact records through comparative planetary science. It also separates observation from model uncertainty and places mission examples—including Juno, Cassini, Rosetta, OSIRIS-REx, Lucy, and Europa Clipper—in the scientific questions they address.

The Violent Face of the Cosmos: Supernovae, Neutron Stars and Black Holes
Author: SpacePedia
Summary: The Violent Face of the Cosmos is an illustrated popular-science book that follows the final stages of stars into supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes. It brings together core collapse and thermonuclear explosions, the role of remnants in the element cycle, pulsars and magnetars, neutron-star mergers, gravitational waves, accretion disks, jets, and the findings of the Event Horizon Telescope. By keeping observation, interpretation, and theoretical models distinct, it explains what is known—and what remains open—where gravity is strongest.

The Space Age and Humanity: Spacecraft, Accidents, and Future Projects
Author: SpacePedia
Summary: This book follows spaceflight from the physics of reaching orbit and the architecture of spacecraft to the lived realities of human missions and the institutional lessons of accidents. It treats current lunar and Mars ambitions not as promises, but as efforts bounded by technical, medical, economic, and operational constraints.

Deep Space Atlas: Galaxies, Nebulae and Constellations
Author: SpacePedia
Summary: Deep Space Atlas is an illustrated journey from the familiar celestial dome to the large-scale physical universe. It explores the architecture of galaxies, the challenge of mapping the Milky Way from within, the Local Group, regions of stellar birth and death, nebulae, and selected constellations through the lenses of scale, distance, wavelength, and observational method. The book also teaches readers how to read striking astronomical images and to distinguish appearance from physical reality.
