Reader's Digest Children's Atlas of the Universe Book

Did you know that at this very moment, Earth is speeding through space at more than 66,000 miles per hour? Or that big galaxies attract and devour smaller ones, by pulling them apart and absorbing their stars? Do you know how to find the Pole Star using the Big Dipper? The wild and wonderful universe contains more mysteries than humans will ever be able to fathom. Young readers can join the ongoing exploration with this spectacular atlas from Reader's Digest. An ideal companion volume to the eye-catching Reader's Digest Children's Atlas of the World, the Atlas of the Universe is packed with fascinating information about the planets, constellations, space, black holes, stars, tools of the trade (telescopes, satellites, spacecraft, etc.), and lots more. The atlas includes hundreds of illustrations and photos, clear explanations of complex concepts, up-to-date maps and diagrams, a glossary of technical terms, a fact file, and fun projects, activities, and experiments for further learning. Divided into three major headings, Our Solar System, Deep Space, and Stargazing, each two-page spread provides information on one corner of the universe, in a friendly, interesting style, with enough variety in the illustrations, activities, maps, and text to satisfy every reader.

    The Reader's Digest
    Children's Atlas of the Universe
    will revolutionize the way kids learn about the stars. Combining spectacular color art (including maps of the planets) and hundreds of photographic images from space missions and telescopes, the atlas tells the story of the universe as it has never been told before.

    Every page is a storehouse of riveting, up-to-the minute information. Introductory sections cover Earth's place in space, the history of astronomy and space exploration, and modern observatories and space travel. The atlas then visits each of the planets of our solar system in turn, along with asteroids, comets, and meteors, before proceeding to the stars and galaxies of deep space. Included are detailed star charts for both Northern and Southern Hemisphere stargazers, a universe fact file, a glossary, and an index. Activities and projects provide a hands-on approach to understanding the principles of astronomy.

    The Reader's Digest Children's Atlas of the Universe continues the high standard in children's reference publishing established by The Reader's Digest Children's Atlas of the World. For children of all ages, this beautifully produced volume is the ultimate resource for learning about the mysteries of the universe.
