space Childrens Book Review: Space A Visual Encyclopedia

Brand new with the latest images from NASA, this book is sure to thrill little and big astronauts in the making. It’s full of beautiful pictures, real and generated that educate about space in great detail.

Did you know that there have only been about 500 people in space exploring? I was actually astonished at that number, I thought it would have been less. I suppose we hear much less nowaday about space exploration that a few decades ago.

The nine sections that the book covers over 256 pages are:

  • Observing The Universe
  • The Violent Universe
  • Liftoff!
  • Humans in Space
  • Solar System
  • Earth
  • The Moon
  • The Sun
  • Stars and Stargazing

Everything that is considered cosmic is covered from the planets and their moons, wondrous comets, the history of space travel to mysterious black holes, nebulae, distant solar systems, and so much more!
