An OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD adventure from Lucy and Stephen Hawking

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

'Welcome,' said Cosmos, 'to the universe!'

When George's pet pig breaks through the fence into the garden next door, George meets his new neighbours - Annie and her scientist father, Eric - and discovers a secret key that opens up a whole new way of looking at the world. From outer space!

For Eric has the world's most advanced computer, super-intelligent Cosmos, who can whisk George and his friends off to any point in the universe. Suddenly George is on a rollercoaster ride through the vastness of space - past planets, through an asteroid storm to the very edge of our Solar System and beyond.

But someone else has plans for Cosmos - plans which will lead Eric and George into terrible danger.

And there is nothing in space more dangerous than a black hole . . .

This terrific page turner combines a gripping and funny adventure with lots of fascinating scientific facts about our universe and the planets, including the latest ideas about black holes from Stephen Hawking. Plus full-colour photos of real images from space!
