This website is an overview of the history, mythology, and current scientific knowledge of each planet and the major moons in our solar system. Each page has text and NASA's images, most provide references to additional related information.You will find many information about the Sun ,Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Satellites, Comets, Asteroids, Meteorites and more.

All nine planets can be seen with a small telescope; all but Pluto can be seen with binoculars. And large observatories continue to provide much useful information. But the possibility of getting up close with interplanetary spacecraft has revolutionized planetary science. Very little of this site would have been possible without the space program.

An object bigger than Pluto has been found in the outer solar system by astronmers Mike Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory), and David Rabinowitz (Yale University). It is possible, perhaps likely, that it will eventually be considered to be our solar system's tenth planet. Its temporary designation is 2003UB313; an official name will be given in due course.
