Did you know that if you were travelling at the speed of light - 300,000 kilometres a second - it would still take 100,000 years to cross our own galaxy? Or that the moon is completely silent because it has no atmosphere? Or that the huge red spot on Jupiter is a storm that has been raging for over 300 years? This authoritative factbook should be of interest to anyone who is curious about what lies beyond our planet. Five fact-filled sections include a tour of the Solar System, a journey to the ends of the Universe and the human conquest of space. Also featured in the book are data panels which give facts and figures and the answers to key questions.
