• Astronomy From the Earth to the Universe, Jay M. Pasachoff
  A new entry level textbook covering all of astronomy. Updates are posted at Prof. Pasachoffs Web site as needed.
• Encyclopedia of the Solar System, Paul R. Weissman et al (Editors)
  A much more scholarly tome than the above; for those who want to go much deeper. (Also check the publisher’s WWW site.)
• Exploring Planetary Worlds, David Morrison
  The other principal source for The Nine Planets. This is a beautiful book with very high quality images and well written, by a man who was (and is) in the middle of NASA’s planetary program.
• Formation of Planetary Systems, Brahic, editor.
• Moons and Planets, Hartman.
• The New Solar System, J. Kelly Beatty, Andrew Chaikin (Editors)
  The primary reference for constructing The Nine Planets. An excellent book filled with detailed info about the whole solar system recently updated with info from Galileo and Mars Pathfinder. (Also available in hardback.)
