This beautifully photographed and illustrated small book is packed with information about space. One of the first entries is about Galileo Galilei, known as the father of experimental science. One of the last entries tells of another solar system with a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting around it.

This book, through pictures and bites of information, describes our solar system and its planets. It also tells a short history of important events in the space program. ( )
