Our discovery and observation of both planets have been hampered by their sheer distance from Earth: there has only been one close encounter, \u003ci\u003eVoyager 2\u003c\/i\u003e in the late 1980s. The \u003ci\u003eVoyager\u003c\/i\u003e mission revealed many enticing details about the planets and their moons but also left many more questions unanswered. This book is an informative and accessible introduction to Uranus, Neptune, and their moons. It takes readers on a journey from discovery to the most recent observations made from space- and ground-based telescopes, and it will appeal to amateur and professional astronomers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarolyn Kennett\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, researcher, historian, and astronomer who lives in Cornwall.
