内容説明
This is the only book on Neptune written by individuals directly involved with the Voyager Mission and its scientific findings. It shows clearly the planning, excitement and major advances in our knowledge of Neptune and its system associated with the highly successful Voyager Mission. In doing so, it recreates some of the excitement and wonder felt by those on the science and engineering teams as they witnessed the spectacular data being returned by Voyager. Richly illustrated with unique images and other data returned by the Voyager Mission, this book disperses some of the myths created by other authors. No doubt, the text amounts to a definitive description of Neptune for decades to come.
