Description:

Three, two, one… lift off! This lively fact book blasts young readers straight into the Universe with exactly 100 numbered, bite-sized facts about space. Across its pages, children can explore the Solar System and its planets, find out about asteroids, comets and moons, discover what happens during an eclipse, follow the birth and death of a star, and learn how humans survive beyond Earth. Part of the popular Miles Kelly 100 Facts series, it pairs clear, snappy information with striking photographs, colourful illustrations and funny cartoons, plus quizzes, activities and hands-on projects that turn fact-finding into a game. The numbered format makes it easy to dip in and out of, while the mix of awe-inspiring imagery and accessible explanations makes it an ideal first reference book for budding astronomers and curious minds who want to know everything about the cosmos.
