This book is a journey through space and time!
Written by award-winning author Anne Rooney, this highly-visual, full-colour hardback explores the history of space exploration with illustrated, annotated timelines. Young readers can discover how we have mapped the Universe, sent spacecraft to distant planets, and catalogued stars billions of light years away.
Readers can:
• Chart our discoveries about the universe, year by year
• Learn about the astronomers, scientists and astronauts who transformed our understanding of the night sky, from Neil Armstrong to Katherine Johnson
• Discover the science behind our universe, from the Big Bang to the life cycle of stars
• Explore the latest developments in space science, from exploration of Mars to the launch of the James Webb telescope
This is a great way for children to discover the history of space science, and to reinforce their understanding by putting facts in context and developing a sense of chronology and perspective. An illuminating read for young people aged 8+.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Visual Timelines series introduces children to the history of human and scientific development, using engaging, richly illustrated timelines to pick out major events and put them in context.
