How big is space, where does it end, and more thought-provoking questions.
The questions in this book were curated by the staff at London's Royal Observatory, to address all the most common - and a few uncommon - things that children want to know about space. Planets, moons, exploration and even some really BIG questions such as 'How do Black Holes work', 'Is it worth going to space?' and 'What's going to happen at the end of time?'.

Alice James joined Usborne after working in primary schools for a while. She absolutely loves science, and over the years has lived with chimps, spent a month in the rainforest, studied Biology at Oxford University, and grown 200 carnivorous plants (not necessarily in that order). Whilst at Usborne Alice has worked on books on all kinds of science topics, from space to energy to the periodic table.
