Introducing the concepts of space and space travel, this book starts on Earth and transports the reader up to the sky, out to the moon, planets, sun and galaxy. It explains why the moon waxes and wanes, why the seasons change, how the planets circle the sun and how to recognize important groups of stars. It also looks at the history and developments in the exploration of space and some of the boundaries still to be crossed. This book combines factual information with a sense of wonder at the complexity of the universe. Joy Richardson is the author of "Hot and Cold", "Wet and Dry", "Light and Dark" and "Clean and Dirty".
