ISBN: 9781419704222.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the photographic output of a small squadron of interplanetary spacecraft, we have awakened to the beauty and splendor of the solar system. Since Michael Benson’s masterful book Beyond: Visions of the Interplanetary Probes, new, more powerful cameras in probes with greatly improved maneuverability have traversed the wheeling satellites of Jupiter; roamed the boulder-strewn red deserts of Mars; studied Saturn’s immaculate rings; and shown us our own ravishing Earth, a blue-white orb with a disturbingly thin atmosphere, as it plunges deeper into ecological crisis. These new images are the subject of Benson’s Planetfall, a truly revelatory book that uses its large page size to reproduce the greatest achievements in contemporary planetary photography as never before.\n\nPraise for Planetfall:\n\n“All retrospectives, art and otherwise, should shock us awake the way this one does . . . Planetfall is a book of science through and through, but it also deepens our sense of the miracle and the mystery of the universe, of our eye-blink lives.” —The New York Times\n\n“This is the way I like to tour the solar system. Find a chair. Sit. Turn some pages. Gaze. Wonder.” —NPR.com\n\n“Beautiful interplanetary images.” —MSNBC.com\n\n“Beautiful visions of what’s out there.” —The Huffington Post\n\n“To encounter a Benson landscape is to be in awe of not only how he sees the universe, but also the ways in which he composes the never-ending celestial ballet.” —Time.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abrams Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946745458741,"sku":"ByrdShop_1419704222","price":46.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781419704222_1dd35d8e-ace2-444e-9146-8c6a348d7d5e.jpg?v=1778916376","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/planetfall-new-solar-system-visions-new-solar-system-visions-9781419704222","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
