(3) YA Worlds Beyond series. In two books in this series, Miller discusses astrophysical accounts of the development of these bodies and the history of their discovery by humans, as well as projection of future events. The text is accurate, even scholarly, and the bright illustrations are particularly eye-catching: digitally generated or enhanced pictures, NASA photos, and charts. The long final chapter of Extrasolar comprises a descriptive catalog of these planets. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Worlds Beyond titles: Extrasolar Planets and The Sun.]
