The Planets by Dava Sobel

5.0

Sobel's lyrical depiction of the planets captures the joy and wonder she professes for them. I especially enjoyed the sometimes amusing and more often awe-inspiring anecdotes strewn throughout. It was pure joy to read Caroline Lucretia Herschel's enthusiastic letter to Maria Mitchell.

I imagine this will be a book I'll revisit, perhaps many times.
