Each volume in the "Planetary Exploration" series has been designed to introduce aspects of the solar system to young readers. The text has been illustrated with artwork which provides a scientifically accurate portrayal of features of the planet's surfaces, and gives such details as a sunrise over the rings of Saturn and the total eclipse of the sun. This volume describes the planet of Jupiter and provides illustrations that depict the photographs taken by the "Voyager" satellite, showing the surface of this cold, slowly shrinking magnetic world.
