The cold, dark world that lies at the farthest reaches of our solar system holds a vast collection of secrets. For the most of human history, we had no idea anything was out there. Utilizing photographs from NASA probes and telescopes, Miller takes us on a tour into the darkest corners of the solar system, to places beyond the limits of the human eye. Discover answers to age-old questions-- and encounter new mysteries-- at the edge of the solar system. -- adapted from back cover.
