BEYOND: Visions of the Interplanetary Probes by Michael Benson
Publisher: Abrams Books, ISBN: 0810945319
Michael Benson has compiled a book of stunning photographs that he hopes
will inspire readers to do just that. His book called BEYOND features
photographs taken by NASA's interplanetary probes, like the Viking Orbiter that
passed right by Mars and Saturn as it toured our solar system. Benson says the
photographs are as much about art as they are about science.
