Bob the Alien's Tour of the Solar System was created and is maintained by James Adams, a student of English and Educational Studies at Keele University in the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2000. The site is published by Sultana Barbecue.

As a reader of stories, poems and plays, and not really of science or astrophysics, James was assisted in the early development of the site by Mr Ford, a student of Geology and Chemistry, also at Keele University, who provided invaluable scientific information about the subject matter of the site and moral support when it seemed that Bob the Alien's Tour of the Solar System would never reach completion! Mr Ford now has his own websites dedicated to his areas of expertise, and also to his hobby of building model railways, at www.askmrford.co.uk and www.ngaugerailway.co.uk

The picture of Bob the Alien and his dog, Bobsdog, was originally drawn by Vickie, James' housemate while at university.

Information provided in this website has been gained from countless books and websites dedicated to astronomy and space exploration. Where possible, these books and websites are credited on the relevant pages throughout the site.
