Interesting Facts & Fantastic Photos!

Wonderful up-to-date knowledge regarding the Milky Way Galaxy. My twelve year old son did a summer reading report from the information in this book.

It's a good book about planets

The pictures of planets are beautiful. It is interesting to read about places that I never went to before. Wow. I wish I could visit these planets and see what an alien looks like. I would like to see the volcanoes too.
