Science

Stars, planets, rockets, blast off on a spectacular visual journey around our solar system and beyond. Send your child on a full-throttle mission into space with stunning photographs captured from NASA, the European Space Agency and the Hubble Space Telescope. They'll hurtle past the flaming surface of the Sun, visit Mercury's crater-scarred surface and a giant volcano on Mars; then race past comets to admire Jupiter's moons and the rings of Saturn. This book's unique round shape transmits a "through-the-telescope" view of space and includes a spectacular space poster for bedroom walls, special glow-in-the-dark stickers, planet postcards and an amazing planisphere for star spotting. It's an out of this world adventure!
