Description
In Beyond Pluto, John Davies embarks on a captivating journey through the far reaches of our solar system, delving into the mysteries that lie beyond the familiar planets. This exploration is not merely about celestial bodies but also a profound reflection on humanity's place in the cosmos.

Davies takes readers on an odyssey that begins with the Sun and ventures into the enigmatic realms of the outer planets and the icy Kuiper Belt. As he navigates through the vastness of space, he interweaves scientific insights with philosophical musings, prompting readers to contemplate the nature of exploration and discovery. Each chapter unfolds a new layer of understanding, revealing not only the physical characteristics of these distant worlds but also their symbolic significance in our quest for knowledge.
