But with the advent of spacecraft and the tremendous missions undertaken by the \u003cem\u003eVoyager \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eCassini\u003c\/em\u003e probes, astronomers have discovered that the natural satellites of the planets--the solar system's moons--are some of the most extraordinary places imaginable. There are moons with towering geysers, erupting volcanoes, and subterranean oceans of warm, mineral-rich water. Some of the highest mountains and deepest canyons can be found on moons. There are moons that have shattered into pieces and then reassembled. There is even a moon where it rains rocket fuel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Recently, scientists have turned to moons for answers in their investigations of the origins of the solar system and the evolution of life on our own planet. Featuring full-color, scientifically accurate illustrations by NASA artist Ron Miller, \u003cem\u003eNatural Satellites: The Book of Moons\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles these investigations and the questions we have yet to answer in our exploration of the solar system's moons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMiller, Ron:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRon Miller\u003c\/strong\u003e has worked as a freelance writer and illustrator for more than 30 years.
