Aprašymas

The deepest, darkest secrets of space are revealed in this beautifully illustrated compendium of our stunning universe.

Our universe is massive--so big that we can't even fathom its true size--and it's packed full of secrets. There are stars that hiccup, supermassive black holes that warp things around them, and ominous-sounding dark matter that surrounds us everywhere--even on Earth.

But scientists are on the case.

The next instalment in the stunning series by dynamic author Saskia Gwinn, this is the glorious follow-up to Secret Stories of Nature and Secret Stories of Lost Beasts. In the beautifully illustrated Secret Stories of Space, children will uncover fascinating discoveries, from the real colours of celestial objects like the Sun and stars, to the weather on planets, and the search for water in outer space.

They'll explore how scientists past and present have used research and observation to piece these stories together and unravel their secrets. Intriguingly, some secrets are yet to be revealed, while others are rewritten when exciting new information changes what we think we know. Children will find out all about ongoing research into our ever-expanding universe, as well as what globular clusters are--and how many planets are thought to host extraterrestrial life.

Saskia's fascinating text is brought to life by gorgeously detailed, vintage-style artwork from Vasilisa Romanenko, making this a perfect gift book for the whole family to share.
