Updating and expanding on the second edition of The Ringed Planet, this new edition includes discussions of the ring systems of Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, and the newly discovered rings around small bodies in the outer solar system, placing them in the context of what we've learned about ring systems from Saturn. Using a non-technical approach, this book provides physical explanations for the phenomena observed in Saturn's system and other ring systems, featuring over 100 images, animations, and easy-to-understand graphics from the Cassini mission.
