A astronomia é um exercício de humildade e reconhecimento de que pouco conhecemos sobre o Universo. Estamos avançando na tentativa de desbravar o Cosmos e temos que começar do nosso lar: o Sistema Solar. A invenção do telescópio foi um divisor de águas e ajudou a humanidade a desbravar sua vizinhança e além. Porém, apenas observar de longe não era suficiente para saciar a curiosidade humana. Sempre se desejou ir além. Antigamente, olhávamos para os céus e víamos pontos de luz sem imaginar o que ocorria nas vizinhanças desses objetos. Com os avanços tecnológicos podemos vislumbrar quais fenômenos ocorrem ali e, o mais intrigante, podemos enviar sondas espaciais para investigar outros Mundos.Escrito por Fernando Henrique Martins e José Leonardo Ferreira, dois entusiastas das ciências espaciais, este livro leva, de maneira instigante, o leitor a uma viagem pelo Sistema Solar com a sonda planetária Cassini-Huygens, mais especificamente a Saturno, que é um dos pontos brilhantes que o ser humano percebe no céu. E mostra algumas das fantásticas descobertas que essa sonda espacial conseguiu fazer, cujos sensores se somaram aos olhos do ser humano para ampliar o entendimento humano acerca do Sistema Solar. Essa sonda revelou detalhes de Saturno que nunca haviam sido observados a partir da Terra. Até mesmo os voos da imaginação humana não foram capazes de idealizar as maravilhas escondidas nesse planeta. 10
