Synopsis
This book is suitable for ages 9-12. In this illuminating activity book, kids delve into the rich history of space exploration, where telescopes, satellites, probes, landers, and human missions lead to amazing discoveries. Tracking astronomers' recent progress - including the discovery of 2003 UB313, what some are calling the tenth planet in the solar system - kids explore the planets and other celestial bodies for themselves through activities such as walking from the sun to Pluto or creating their own re-entry vehicle to safely return an egg to Earth's surface. With biographies of more than 20 space pioneers, specific mission details, a 20-page field guide to the solar system, and plenty of suggestions for further research, this is the ultimate guidebook to exploring the solar system.
