Review:
Through the lens of National Geographic, readers can travel through space and beyond. What readers will learn is infinite.

Are we alone? Do we study space only to find this answer? There are plenty of things we know about earth and why it’s a perfect planet for us. We also have learned that some other planets are toxic and even have short lifespans. We know of bacteria that can survive on Mars, but sadly not for very long. Astronomers have found over 3,800 planets and some of these have properties similar to earth. The search will continue.

Space eningeering is moving towards telescopes on the moon, mining asteroids, space hotels and so much more. Comets are fantastic to watch in the sky. We know that comets are leftover from the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. Did you know that astronomers classify stars by their size, temperature, color and luminosity? We are exploring Mars. There are four types of missions; Flybys, Orbiters, Landers and Rovers.

Taking a space tour with National Geographic readers can expect an in depth look with fun facts, plenty of details and spectacular imagery. Parents, teachers and kids will love learning and discussing space and our future in it. The back pages share a glossary and plenty more resources for learning.
