From our small world we have gazed upon the cosmic ocean for thousands of years. Ancient astronomers observed points of light that appeared to move among the stars. They called these objects planets, meaning wanderers, and named them after Roman deities -- Jupiter, king of the gods; Mars, the god of war; Mercury, messenger of the gods; Venus, the goddess of love and beauty; and Saturn, father of Jupiter and god of agriculture. The stargazers also observed comets with sparkling tails, and meteors -- or shooting stars apparently falling from the sky.* The Multimedia(Video) version is available on the iPad through iBooks.Table of Contents1.Overview2.Sun3.Inner Solar System3.1.Mercury3.2.Venus3.3.Earth3.4.Mars4.Outer Solar System4.1.Jupiter4.2.Saturn4.3.Uranus4.4.Neptune5.Credits
