The spiritual successor to Space is Cool as Fuck, a mind bending information overload on the majesty of our favourite local moons.

At some point in elementary school, everyone has to learn the names of the planets. For most people, that's where it ends. But almost every planet in our solar system has at least one moon in orbit around it, and these little worlds are as extraordinary and cool as the planets themselves, if not cooler.

Funny, brilliant and insightful, this book will show you how mind-boggling the moons of our solar system are from the volcanic hellscape of Io to the ice mountains and methane seas of Titan and beyond.

Real space images and the brilliant illustrations of Gordon Auld present a vivid picture of our beautiful solar system, opening readers' eyes to just how majestic and freaky our moons can be.
