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.
