How It Works – Book Of Space 7th Edition 2016
Space is the great big unknown, with billions of lightyears still undiscovered. That doesn’t stop humankind from trying though, as this book documents all the research man has poured into exploring our universe. Discover the wonders in our solar system, the technology being developed for space exploration, the strangest and most incredible celestial bodies in our universe, and the best way to observe it all with a telescope. Featuring: Solar System – Journey from the surface of the Sun, past planets, moons, asteroids and more, towards the edge of our Solar System Exploration.
The Earth is one of nine planets that revolve around the Sun, which is the center of our solar system. In Planets & The Solar System, students will learn the key characteristics of each planet, the difference between inner and outer planets and which planets have their own moons. They’ll take a fascinating look at how remote-control rovers are designed to explore other surfaces in the solar system. Also, in a fun, hands-on activity, students will demonstrate how gravity keeps all the members of the solar system in orbit around the Sun.

This book is an amateur astronomer’s guide to the mythology and symbolism associated with the celestial bodies in the Solar System, and even includes some of the legendary tales of people who had or have a connection with these objects. It explores different cultures (for example, the Greco-Roman and the Norse) and different times and how stories were used to explain the worlds they saw above them. You’d be amazed how much of our world today reflects the myths and stories of these cultures!
Featuring all-new 3D models built using data gathered by NASA and the European Space Agency, The Planets is an awe-inspiring journey through the Solar System, from Earth to Mars and beyond.
