A mapped tour of space

Maps provide the organizing thread for this illustrated survey of space, connecting familiar destinations such as the Moon and planets with more distant subjects including galaxies and black holes. The book also turns inward, using maps to show planetary interiors, and outward, tracing routes taken by robotic explorers through the solar system. Diagrams accompany the wide-ranging topics, which include constellations, the Sun, mountains and ice-spouting volcanoes. As the third title in the Explore series, it combines spatial orientation with an encyclopedic approach to astronomy and space exploration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children aged 9–12 curious about space and astronomy
  • Young readers who enjoy maps, diagrams, and visual nonfiction
