Summary: A book that draws on the latest discoveries of modern astronomy to take children to the farthest reaches of the universe through a mixture of circular maps and flat maps of the Solar System and the galaxies beyond. The book is organised into five parts, answering key questions: What do we see with our naked eye? Where are we in the universe? What are the other planets like? What do modern telescopes see? Where is the sky studied from? The book covers ancient views of the sky to the International Space Station, Earth to Pluto and Crab Nebulae to space suits. (Publisher)
