If you think that your neighbor who dyed his hair green is the strangest thing in the universe, then you are deeply mistaken. The strangest thing in it is the Universe itself. But what can I say, even in our solar system there are so many places that look very bizarre from a human point of view! Here they are collected in the book. "The 50 Most Extreme Places in Our Solar System"established David Baker and Todd Ratcliff.

Many people are so fixated on their worries, on little things that seem to them the size of the Universe, that they forget that the Universe exists at all. But you just need to raise your head and look at the night sky, at an infinite number of stars in an infinite space. Captivating!

But David Baker and Todd Ratcliffe remember to look up from time to time. Moreover, observing the night sky is a direct profession for them, because they are both astronomers. And, of course, over the years of fascination with the Cosmos, they have become favorite places in it. That's about them David and Todd just decided to tell people in their book "The 50 Most Extreme Places in Our Solar System" ("50 most extreme places in our Solar System").

This book contains photographs of fifty very bizarre and unique points in our region of Space, as well as their description, made in a lively, interesting language, devoid of dry academicism. After all, this publication is aimed primarily at a wide audience, and not at the scientific community.

Of course, this edition itself will not be included in the list of the most unusual books in the world. But this does not in any way affect its insanely interesting content and excellent printing.

So any person who is at least a little interested in what happens outside the Universe called I will be very curious to read about the satellite of Saturn, riddled with asteroids, Hyperion, about the ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa, about another satellite of Jupiter - Io, which looks like a head cheese, about rains from frozen methane on Uranus and Neptune, about the Grand Canyon on Mars and about many other equally bizarre places in our Solar System.
