Astronomy: Out of This World!

Like a Facebook for the universe, this book gives every important celestial body and concept its own page, where readers can learn its behaviors, likes, and dislikes up close and personal. From the flashy stars to the shadowy and strange objects that hang out like loners at the edges of the universe, no player goes unnoticed. Every profile has a hip anime-style portrait to round out the picture, but make no mistake: while the presentation is all style, the science is rock solid. The universe has never been so cool. Paperback by Simon Basher and Dan Green. 128 pages, for ages 9-12.
