Stargazing
Whether you’re a kid who dreams of being an astronaut or an adult with a fondness for the cosmos, these books will guide you as you gaze at the stars.
Using the most spectacular images from NASA, the European Space Agency,
and the Hubble Space Telescope, Mission: Space is an essential guide for the armchair astronaut. This guide to the stars and planets celebrates the achievements of human space exploration, including the Apollo missions to the Moon, robotic rovers on Mars, and probes into deep space. Clear, comprehensive text and supporting reference pages complement the visual feast. The circular format enhances the impact of the images, giving the impression of peering through a telescope or out of the porthole of a spacecraft.
