Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
If you don't know a black hole from a white dwarf, then this pocket-sized guide to the universe will bring you up to date. Even if you already know about the Local Arm and spectrohelioscopes, you'll find this book from Dorling Kindersley a useful resource. It provides short and succinct answers to those big questions about outer space: What is the universe? How is a star born? What are the Big Bang and Big Crunch theories? You can use the handy glossary and index to help you find all the answers under the sun to questions astronomical. The book is divided into sections on the universe, galaxies, stars, space viewed from Earth, the solar system, the planets, small objects in space (comets, meteors, and asteroids), studying space, and space history. Colorful diagrams, maps, photos, and charts provide additional information. An amazing number of space facts are packed into 160 small pages, on everything from the atmosphere around us to the signs of the zodiac. (Ages 11 to adult) --Marcie Bovetz

Good purchase,

This review is from: Space Facts (DK Pockets) (Paperback)
I ordered this book for my daughter, who loves space stuff. Though the book was used, it came in good shape and arrived quickly after the order. Now my daughter uses it when we travel as a diversion during the trip. It's easy to carry and quick to scan through and get a lot of information on a lot of different topics. Would purchase again.
