A thrilling guide to the most incredible objects, weirdest discoveries, and most surprising science in our universe.

This fascinating book will take you above the clouds and beyond the Earth's atmosphere to show you the vast expanse of space that stretches above us.

There is much to discover about our universe that most people don't know. Step on to the surface of other planets in our solar system, discover the distant but exciting exoplanets, and learn the dramatic lifecycle of a star. Authors Sophie Allan and Josh Barker, who both work for the National Space Academy in the UK, cover a huge range of topics, including unique planetary features, amazing comets and asteroids, space weather, incredible binary stars, and fascinating space exploration. Have you ever wondered why some planets have rings? Or whether galaxies can collide? Or how humans can explore the vastness of space? This book answers those questions, and many, many more.

Amazing Space is the perfect book for inquisitive kids ages 7 and up, and especially those with a passion for space, physics, or science. With astounding information, and stunning photographs and illustrations, this is the ultimate guide to the most incredible places in our universe.

Dawn Cooper is an illustrator from Bristol, UK. Her artwork is all heavily inspired by the natural world and its many creatures, as well as by traditional botanical drawings and works of fiction. Dawn currently creates her work digitally, hand-drawing directly onto a tablet, to make multi-layered illustrations with lots of color and texture. In the rare moments when she’s not drawing, Dawn likes nothing more than a long, rewarding walk with her camera, or browsing a bookshop or two.
