How big is space, where does it end, and more thought-provoking questions. The questions in this book were curated by the staff at London' s Royal Observatory, to address all the most common - and a few uncommon - things that children want to know about the universe and about outer space. It covers a mixture of basic questions about planets, moons, human exploration and the origins of the universe, as well as tackling really BIG questions such as ' How do Black Holes work' , ' Is it worth going to space? ' and ' What' s going to happen at the end of time? ' Join two curious children and a robot programmed with all the answers as they guide readers through some of the most mind-boggling facts, and a refreshingly honest take on what things we simply don' t know, and how to approach questions that don' t have simple, straight answers.
Alice James joined Usborne after working in primary schools for a while. She absolutely loves science, and over the years has lived with chimps, spent a month in the rainforest, studied Biology at Oxford University, and grown 200 carnivorous plants (not necessarily in that order). Whilst at Usborne Alice has worked on books on all kinds of science topics, from space to energy to the periodic table.
