Summary

Planetary sciences is an active research field, and our knowledge of the planets and smaller bodies in the Solar System is increasing very rapidly. Thus, no compendium on this subject can be completely up to date. To give the student a flavor of this progress, we include in this appendix a selection of some of the most spectacular images sent back by NASA spacecraft that were released to the public during 2009 and early 2010. The images in this appendix are arranged by planet in order of increasing heliocentric distance; the majority of images are from Mars and the Saturn system, which are under intensive close-up study.
