Space contains everything that exists, from the Earth that humans dwell upon to incredibly distant stars. Investigations: Space takes readers on a journey to the Moon, the planets of the Solar System, and far beyond, enabling readers to understand what galaxies, stars, and constellations are composed of and why nothing - not even light - can escape from a black hole.Readers will also learn why Earth is the only planet in the Solar System that can support known life forms, as well as about the telescopes that astronomers use to search for extra-terrestrial life among the stars. Investigations: Space also traces the history of space exploration from the earliest rockets to the future of space travel. Easy to do projects demonstrate how rockets work, what it's like to live in space, how to make artificial gravity, and much more.
