Samenvatting
Leaving the catastrophic scenarios to others, Peebles, a mainstay in the Smithsonian's stable of writers, traces the two-century history of thought and discovery about the celestial objects, which range from 33 feet to 580 miles wide, and mostly reside in a belt between Mars and Jupiter. He also discusses related topics, including the Kuiper Belt, a band of icy asteroids rimming the solar system that were proposed long ago and only recently found, and the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet that crashed into Jupiter in 1994. He addresses general readers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
