About the Book

ScienceWiz(R) Online Discovery Planets includes a digital flip book that provides a grand tour of the solar system. It integrates hands-on projects and celestial observations with breathtaking online materials. These include videos, simulations, Interactive 3D models and and deep dives into the centers of the gas and ice giants. Watch an incredible 4K video of the actual surface of Mars, composited from data captured by NASA's Mars rovers. This is our first ever high resolution view of another world! Listen to the profound and stunning video narration of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot." Take a deep dive into Saturn's interior to watch gigantic diamond ice burgs float in a liquid diamond sea. Learn about the liquid oceans found to be buried underground on numerous moons and even beneath the frozen surface of the dwarf planet Pluto. Do some of these mineral rich oceans harbor life? The race is on to find out.

The word "planet" means wandering star. Five of these wandering stars are visible to the naked eye and were known to the ancients. These wandering stars, did not travel across the night sky in lock-step with all the other visible stars. Their paths were peculiar and unique. The ancients did not know that these wandering stars were other worlds, but we do. Children and adults alike can now pinpoint these wandering stars themselves using the digital app provided. Just point the digital phone at the night sky in your neighborhood and you can eye-ball and distinguish each planet from among the multitude of stars. Then point a pair of strong binoculars or a telescope to get a better view. Let the tour begin!

  • Locating the five planets with the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn using a digital app
