Each chapter is a tale about a unique escapade, with accurate descriptions rooted in science and watercolour illustrations by York Biology student <strong>Michelle Parsons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn this book we tried to transport people to real places in space and give them a sense of what it would be like to be there,\u201d explained Rogerson, who is a professor in the Division of Natural Science in the Department of Science, Technology &amp; Society. \u201cWhat would you see, hear, smell, feel and taste? The stories are science fiction in a sense, but also as real and accurate as it can get based on what we know as scientists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, one of the chapters is about cave diving through one of Saturn\u2019s moons, which would be made of ice and very porous. Another chapter takes the reader surfing on Saturn\u2019s rings, \u201cwhich would be like floating through a fog,\u201d Rogerson described. In another story, the reader takes a hot air balloon trip around Venus, which has very fast winds and a similar atmospheric pressure to Earth at 60-70 km above the surface; apparently, no space suit would be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goal was to make it an accessible and exciting reading experience for a lay audience, and for readers to be able to imagine themselves being there. Space is everyone\u2019s space, and it is still nature, so I see the book as a creative way of helping people appreciate and respect the wonders that are out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book sparks imagination through not just the stories, but also the watercolour illustrations in each chapter that are \u201creal and surreal at the same time,\u201d said Rogerson. They depict the reality of environments that people have never been to before.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2024\/11\/Venus-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35527\" style=\"width:240px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2024\/11\/Venus-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2024\/11\/Venus-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2024\/11\/Venus-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2024\/11\/Venus-2048x1536.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Watercolour painting of a hot air balloon trip around Venus, by Michelle Parsons in&nbsp;<em>Daydreaming in the Solar system<\/em><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The illustrations were done by <strong>Michelle Parsons<\/strong>, who previously worked as an engineer and is now a science illustrator (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michelleparsonsart.com\/\">www.michelleparsonsart.com\/<\/a>) and an undergraduate student in the Biology program at York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always loved art, and my passion for science illustration grew from trying to recreate the natural world accurately.
