Synopsis

A fascinating fact-file and learn-it-yourself project book Find out all about astronomy and stargazing: how to spot constellations, how the universe is expanding, and what the planets in our solar system are like Includes 13 fantastic practical projects that help you discover things for yourself: mount your binoculars on a tripod, photograph the stars, create a model of the night sky, and make a sundial Over 240 illustrations include step-by-step photographs and explanatory artworks Ideal for home or school use for 8- to 12-year-olds On a clear night, you can step outside and see stars sparkling against the velvety blackness of space. Some look larger and closer, some are grouped in milky clusters, and some even move. This amazing hands-on book tells you exactly what to look for in the night sky. It will teach you all about outer space and also how to become a proper stargazer yourself, with projects such as making a sundial, making a telescope, or how to watch the moon. Information sections take you through the different topics in astronomy - discover the patterns of the stars, the southern and northern constellations, how the stars change with the seasons, the movements of the sun and earth, and all about giant planets, meteors and comets. The 13 practical projects help you find out things for yourself: try a fun project with friends to show the distances of outer space or the movements of the moon, discover gravity, and use a balloon to see how the universe expands! Over 240 photographs and illustrations make everything easy to follow, and bring the night sky to life.
