Stargazing is an exciting hobby at any age. With movies and magazines full of spaceships and aliens, children are fascinated by what is going on above them in the night sky. Ever more discoveries are being made about
our planet, our solar system, and the Universe - discoveries that are clearly explained in this fun, wonderfully illustrated
book made especially for young astronomers.
Robin Kerrod, an experienced astronomer and space writer, reveals the mysteries of our solar system and what exists within it. We learn how to recognise and explore the different planets, and understand what comets and asteroids really are. We then gain fascinating insights into other space objects that exists.
Split into monthly sections, this unique format actually maps out the night sky as you will see it during every month of the year - and from anywhere in the world. The constellations and key space features for each month are explored along with great starwatch tips to help you "read" the night sky.
With a pullout planisphere to chart the stars, full-colour sky maps, specially commissioned illustrations, and fascinating photographs, this book is an exciting introduction to the mysteries of space for keen, young astronomers.
