In this volume, get up close and personal with Earth's nearest neighbors--Venus with its acid rainstorms, Saturn and its rings of ice, and the heart of it all, the Sun. Humans have always been fascinated by outer space and we're learning more about our solar system every day. Did you know that our Solar System was born from a cloud of cosmic dust? That Jupiter's red spot is really a raging storm? Join Sara, Jill, and their space-faring pets on a quest to learn more about the wonders of our Solar System--and beyondRosemary Mosco is a science writer and artist, and she's passionate about sharing her love for the natural world. She writes and draws the science webcomic Bird and Moon and made the urban nature webcomic Your Wild City in collaboration with fellow First Second author Maris Wicks. If she could explore any place in the solar system, she would travel to Jupiter's moon Europa. Science Comics: Solar System is her first graphic novel with First Second.
