Visual Planets
is a multimedia excursion around our Solar System. The program, already a classic,
extends and deepens our acquaintance with the Sun and its nine Planets,
using the power of hypertext to connect images with information about each body's
moons, atmosphere, structure, rings, statistics, mythology, and the spacecraft that have
done more than anything else to probe their secrets. Unfamiliar astronomical terms are
equipped with yet further hyperlinks to more definitions.

A revolution in planetary science has been brought about by the use of interplanetary spacecraft. Visual Planets has been
created in the light of new knowledge and contains over 150 of
the best images from NASA's planetary exploration program.
Underpinning Visual Planets are more than 100 direct links to some of the more unusual definitions taken from its companion reference work the New Windows Dictionary of Astronomy.
