Aspiring astronauts will love discovering wonderful trivia about outer space, from the first flower grown out there, to the tallest mountain in the solar system, to the fact that Saturn could float in water! There are fun tidbits about tortoises orbiting the Moon, Martian rocks here on Earth, and lightning bolts one and a half times as long as our galaxy! Also, you’ll laugh out loud when you see the funny illustrations of Einstein surfing a gravitational wave and pizza floating through space!
3.75 Stars There were facts and figures all through this book, and if there was a quiz on this book, I would fail. But the odd facts were cool! What I do remember is that Venus and Uranus rotate opposition of earth, so their Sunrise is in the West and their Sunset is in the east! Mind blown!
