This challenging collection of problems is organized into seven
carefully crafted, thoughtful chapters on the Sun and the nature
of the solar system; the motion of the planets; the Sun, Earth,
and Moon; the sky as observed from the rotating, revolving
Earth; other planets, their satellites, their rings; asteroids,
comets, and meteoroids; and the radiations and telescopes. From
question 1, "List characteristics of the solar system that are
major clues in devising a hypothesis of its origin and
evolution," through question 924, "Give a brief list of the
contributions of radio and radar technologies in lunar and
planetary astronomy," the problems range in difficulty from ones
requiring only simple knowledge to ones requiring significant
understanding and analysis. Many of the answers, in turn,
illuminate the questions by providing basic explanations of the
concepts involved. Pioneer 10
