Professor Brian Cox introduces us to the planets and moons beyond our world, finding the biggest, most bizarre, most powerful natural phenomena. The Wonders of the Solar System – from the giant ice fountains of Enceladus to the liquid methane seas of Titan and from storms twice the size of the Earth to the tortured moon of Io with its giant super-volcanoes – is the Solar System as you have never seen it before.

Brian Cox is a particle physicist, a Royal Society research fellow, and a professor at the University of Manchester. Both his book and DVD of the acclaimed BBC TV series are available in the Senior Department Library
