Humanity’s first steps on the Moon were an immense accomplishment in 1969 and a fantastic milestone in the history of space exploration. Since those famous steps were taken, we’ve discovered over 150 additional moons of all shapes, sizes, and compositions. The solar system that began its formation 4.5 billion years ago is still a work in progress today, a three-dimensional, dynamic, ever-changing system of energy and matter, all gravitationally bound to our star. With "A Field Guide to the Planets”, you will experience the journey of a lifetime. The instructor, Sabine Stanley, Ph.D., guides you on a thrilling ride of discovery, illustrated by the phenomenal images NASA has gathered through its telescopes, cameras, and laboratories on Earth; in low-Earth orbit; and throughout the solar system. So please join our moderator, Don Risi, for an informative and eye-opening tour through our solar system.
