All features have been identified with their current IAU-approved names, and each photograph has been located in terms of latitude and longitude. To help practical astronomers, all the photographs are systematically related to an Earth-based view.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2005-05-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852338862\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-84628-154-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279.0cm x210.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 329.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45582216855692,"sku":"9781852338862","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852338862.jpg?v=1767199948","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781852338862","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
