Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: The Sun and Its Solar System -- A Sexy Musical Pool Game? Chapter 3: Our Three Wacky Inner Planets -- Imaginary, Delusionary and Inhabited -- Chapter 4: Earth -- Flat, Hollow or Inside Out? -- Chapter 5: Our Moon - Inhabited, Small and Icy -- Chapter 6: Mars: Inhabited and a Threat? -- Chapter 7: Solar System Rubble: The Home of Princess Moon Owl? -- Chapter 8: The Outer Planets -- Forests of Hemp, Armadas of Seamen and the Holy Foreskin of Jesus -- Chapter 9: Wackiness Beyond the Solar System -- Chapter 10: Is It Wacky to Believe in Astrology and UFOs? -- Index.

From unicorns on the Moon to UFOs piloted by Martian bees, this book chronicles some of the strangest ideas that have been put forward - and have actually been believed in -- about our Solar System. Drawn from tales dating from the Middle Ages to the present, this collection of stories takes readers on an imaginative and wild ride through the ages and minds of some of the wackiest, tackiest, most outlandish concepts in astronomy, cosmology and physics. Follow along as Geoff Kirby recounts each quirky idea in detail and explains how these theories fare against modern astronomical research and technologies.
