Coffee Table Book of: Jupiter (Hardcover)

Description

Jupiter: Artist’s Impressions of Clouds, Storms and Moons presents sixty full-colour pages of original planetary illustration. Wide cloud studies alternate with close interpretations of storms, polar patterns and moonlit worlds. Io’s volcanic colours, Europa’s fractured ice, Ganymede’s contrasting terrain and Callisto’s impact-marked surface introduce the diversity of the Jovian system. Brief captions identify the subjects and interpreted phenomena. Every scene is an artist’s impression; compositions, surface markings and colours are illustrative. Auroral colours interpret ultraviolet light, and the magnetic-field scenes are unscaled schematics.
