UPDATED AND JUST AS AWESOME
I've had this book (the older, 1999 version) since I was a child at the turn of the century. It was a wonderful resource for children (and even adults) about space and space exploration/astronomy, and remains so with this most recent version (updated 2020, so brand new). It's a wonderful, visual encyclopedia about everything space-related: from astronomy and the stars, to history and exploration and the future of space exploration is discussed. Beautiful and detailed pictures are interwoven with informative and updated facts and images. Helpful in-depth diagrams, interviews, biographies, informational blurbs, and more complete this fascinating and comprehensive book. Definitely a MUST for any child's library, especially those with an interest or fascination in science, astronomy, space, exploration, and STEM careers. Check it out; you won't be disappointed!
Gorgeous space pictures!
This was a Christmas gift for my 9 year old granddaughter as she is fascinated by space. She is loving this book, it has the most gorgeous detailed photo's of space, stars, everything! She loves it! Now when she has a question about the sky or stars or planets when we go on our nightly walk, we can refer back to this book for answers.
