Summary:
"'
How
the Universe
works
' - and
how
we explore it - explained in simple words and clever graphics. The clearest, most visual guide to
space
and the Universe for complete beginners to astronomy. Have you ever asked yourself
how
big the Universe is,
how
far it is to the nearest star, or what came before the Big Bang? Then this is the book for you.
How
Space
Works
shows you the different types of object in the Universe (so you'll know your pulsars from your quasars) and introduces you to some of the strangest and most wonderful things known to science, including dark matter particles and ancient white dwarf stars that are almost as old as the Universe itself. The book starts with an explanation of our view of the Universe from Earth, then takes a tour of the Solar System, the stars and galaxies, and the furthest reaches of
space
. The last chapter looks at the technology we use to explore the Universe, from the International
Space
Station to Mars rovers and the new and revolutionary reusable rockets. Illustrated with bold graphics and step-by-step artworks - and peppered with bite-sized factoids and question-and- answer features - this is the perfect introduction to astronomy and
space
exploration.
