From the big bang to meteor showers, from phases of the moon to solar eclipses, this wonderfully lively introduction to astronomy is like an armchair rocket ship flying primary school children straight to the stars! Along the way, they will learn about real science and technology: - how fast light travels - the different shapes of the galaxies - - get a closer view of the heavens with the help of telescopes - see a star being born - - discover what the stars look like in the Southern hemisphere - - journey to the outer planets - discover Saturn and Jupiter - - a mobile that shows their relative distances - build a projector from a cereal box - - explore the evening sky from your own bedroom - learn about Martian meteorites - * Crammed full of colourful astronomy activities, projects and things to do and learn. Tons of extra-terrestrial information, fun factoids and trivia quizzes to boggle your mind for hours. * Full colour artwork throughout (specially drawn by Dave Garbot for the book) explains all the scientific concepts in simple terms.
