Solar System
by members of the Wells & Mendip Astronomers

Our Solar System comprises not just the Sun and planets with their moons. It also contains asteroids and comets. And our own planet offers a host of spectacular sights both natural and man-made, including meteor showers, aurorae, noctilucent clouds, satellites and rocket launches.
