This book provides an introduction to the bodies in our solar system.
Young astronomers and explorers will learn to identify our nine planets
and how to seek out the shapes in the sky that our ancestors saw
thousands of years ago. This book includes information on which planets
and constellations you can see with the naked eye or with binoculars,
and which ones require telescopes. Statistics, illustrations and
interesting facts are included in each section. What are shooting stars?
How has the night sky changed over time? Which planet has the most
moons? How did Orion get its name? How old is our sun?
