Climb aboard a rocket ship and blast off on a tour of the solar system — powered by music! Starting from tiny Mercury, racing closest to the Sun, travel outward past Venus, Mars, mighty Jupiter, ringed Saturn, sideways Uranus, and finally mysterious Neptune at the very edge of everything. At each stop, discover what the planet is really like in space, and hear how a quiet English schoolteacher named Gustav Holst turned every world into an unforgettable piece of music.
