Our universe is made accessible to young readers in this illustrated reference book. From a glimpse of what can be seen from Earth - constellations visible from both hemispheres and other features of the night sky - the view moves outward, mapping the planets, their moons, the solar system and deep space. Along the way, special spreads explore a myriad of astronomical phenomena, including the life and death of a single star; the history of an entire galaxy; the creation of the Universe; early astronomers and a chronology of their discoveries; modern methods, equipment, insights; space travel; comets, meteors, asteroids, black holes; the zodiac; and a discussion of the possibility of life elsewhere in space.
