Customer Reviews

This book inspired me

When I was a kid, I was fascinated by astronomy, and this was my favorite book to check out from our local library. I loved staring at all the big, colorful pictures and reading all the facts about stars, moons, planets, and galaxies. Now, I'm in college, and I'm majoring in astrophysics. I'm certain that this book was one of the things that pushed me in the direction of wanting to be an astronomer. It's a wonderful, comprehensive introduction to the subject, with pages dealing with all of the planets, the sun, stars and their life-cycles, galaxies, space travel, and life in the universe. I'd highly recommend it to any budding astronomers.

great book for children
