Livre "Les mondes de Saturne"

Sébastien Charnoz is an astrophysicist at the IPGP, a professor at the Université Paris Cité and a specialist in the formation of satellites, planets and rings.

In this book, he and his co-authors finally reveal the secrets of the giant planet. These passionate scientists explore Saturn’s complex system, its rings, of course, but also its many moons.
