ASTR430 Textbooks

Required:

The New Solar System (J.K. Beatty and A. Chaikin, Eds., 4th Edition). $10-$20 second hand.
Excellent qualitative introduction to planetary science. Descriptive chapters are each written by experts in the field. Published in 2000, so somewhat out of date but a good value.

Good General Solar System Information:

• The Nine Planets.
• Welcome to the Planets.
• NASA Photo Gallery.
