A fact-filled tour of space

Organized around 1,000 facts, Dean Regas’s guide ranges from the planets and dwarf planets in our solar system to stars, exoplanets, comets, asteroids, galaxies, and space travel. Its scope connects familiar objects in the solar system with phenomena and destinations far beyond it, including supernovas and distant galaxies. Photographs accompany the information, making this a visual reference as well as a collection of short-form astronomy facts. The book presents a broad overview of space exploration and the universe rather than concentrating on a single celestial body or topic.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in astronomy and space.
  • Young readers who enjoy short facts and illustrated reference books.
  • Kids curious about planets, stars, galaxies, or space travel.
