When you look up at the night sky, you're not just seeing stars. The empty blackness of space is dotted with objects of all shapes and sizes, from gigantic fiery stars to tiny specks of dust. This book explores the mysteries of space and shares the secrets of astronomy, the science that studies the skies. What a wonderful resource book this is! Chocked full of interesting astronomy facts and reasonably priced, makes it a real bargain. Definitely, this is no ordinary book on astronomy! True to Usborne's interesting way of teaching anything, The Story of Astronomy and Space makes astronomy fascinating! My oldest son Josh, whose favorite subject in high school was science, calls it engaging. This book has a way of answering most questions a student would have. Here is a sample of the table of contents: Watching the skies, Great balls of fire and a little ball of rock, Wanderers in space, Astronomy through the ages, A race into space, Life in space, Telescopes and other technology, and The story of the Universe. I highly recommend this book to any child interested in Astronomy, they will love it! If astronomy is a part of your homeschool curriculum, The Story of Astronomy and Space would be a great asset to any curriculum you may have.
(Note: The text has one or two references to the old age of the Earth theory, but is easily adaptable to other theories)
