Some people used to think that Earth was smack-dab in the middle of the
universe, with all the stars and planets held in the sky by giant glass
balls. "Boy, were they wrong!" In this follow-up to the award-winning
"Boy, Were We Wrong About Dinosaurs!," Kathleen Kudlinski and John Rocco
look at the mistakes, mishaps, and creativity that are part of
scientific discovery. From the first humans wondering about the night
sky to the demotion of Pluto to dwarf planet status, this book is an
entertaining and informative look at how scientific theories change over
time.
