Description
Each night as the sun goes down and the sky grows dark, STARS come out. But what are stars? Where are they? And what role have they played throughout history?
Over thousands of years humans have gazed up curiously at the stars, wondering why the sky looks the way it does. Step back in time and see how these theories have changed over the years, and what we now know about these sparkling celestial objects.
From the stars, to solar systems to galaxies and beyond, this bold and funny book from Neal Layton tells you everything you've ever wanted to know about the night sky.
