Introduction; Introduction to the Second Edition; Prologue: The Dreamer; Part I General Background; Chapter 1 Theories Come and Theories Go; 1.1 What is Science?; 1.2 The Problem of Cosmogony; 1.3 New Theories for Old; Chapter 2 Measuring Atoms and the Universe; 2.1 Measuring Things in Everyday Life; 2.2 Science and Everyday Life; 2.3 Small Things Beyond Our Ken; 2.4 Measuring Things in the Solar System; 2.5 Large Things Beyond Our Ken; Part II Enlightenment; Chapter 3 Greek Offerings; 3.1 Even Before the Ancient Greeks; 3.2 Plato and Aristotle.

This fully-updated second edition remains the only truly detailed exploration of the origins of our Solar System, written by an authority in the field. Unlike other authors, Michael Woolfson focuses on the formation of the solar system, engaging the reader in an intelligent yet accessible discussion of the development of ideas about how the Solar System formed from ancient times to the present. Within the last five decades new observations and new theoretical advances have transformed the way scientists think about the problem of finding a plausible theory. Spacecraft and landers have explored.
