Kate Howells' Moons is the spiritual successor to Space Is Cool as Fuck, delivering a mind-bending exploration of the often overlooked celestial bodies orbiting our solar system's planets. Almost every planet has them, yet most of us know surprisingly little about these diverse worlds.
Howells takes readers on an interplanetary voyage to moons both familiar and obscure: the volcanic hellscape of Io, the ice mountains and methane seas of Titan, and countless others. Beautifully illustrated with space photography and artistic interpretations, the book makes the case that moons are just as fascinating as the planets they orbit.
The tone is enthusiastic without being juvenile, accessible without oversimplifying. Howells, a space evangelist, communicates genuine wonder while packing in facts about our galactic backyard.
For anyone who has ever looked up and wondered what's out there or who loved Space Is Cool as Fuck this book delivers. Majestic, freaky, and utterly compelling.

October selection of The Planetary Society Book Club.
Enceladus, Titan, Charan and Hyperion; these are some of my favorite things! Reading Moons just wants to make you sing. The read brings the great beyond closer.
