Great for all purposes dealing with space! It makes learning about our solar system fun, and is great for all ages to understand complicated related issues of space and other objects in our solar system!

Should be called "The Invaluable Space Answer Book"

I bought this book at the Aerospace Museum in the Smithsonian in Washington. It is a fun book to refer to now and again.The format of the book is question/answer. The chapter topics include: the universe, galaxies and stars, our solar system, the Earth and its moon, observation and measurement, observation facilities, space exploration agencies and tools, technology in space, and humans in space.I especially enjoyed brushing up on my knowledge of space exploration. This book covers all the major space programs up through the International Space Station. The section on the universe is also equally interesting. The book reviews basic laws and the scientists behind them.This book is very educational. It is useful for brushing up on basic knowledge for adults, and it would make a great gift for those just learning about science and space exploration. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Exellent beginners book

An informative, well written book covering the most frequently asked questions about space.

Very Handy

I was expecting a dry, dull book, and I found the opposite. This book is very interesting, especially the parts about the solar system and universe (i wish there was more)! The section about land observatories was long and boring, but I guess they needed to put it in.
