This volume begins by looking at the objects that can be seen in the sky, such as the moon, and moves out to explore far flung stars. All along the way, the young astronomer is encouraged through interactive spreads that present the faces about the universe, and explain how it is these things are known. For instance, readers learn how the colours of nebulae are barely perceptible by the naked eye, yet these are some of the most vibrant aspects of the universe. Readers also learn that the distances of the stars cannot be measured in the conventional way, and how astronomers use parallax to measure these vast distances. The "Your World Explained" series presents diverse subjects in an interactive manner that explains to young minds the way things work in the world. Everyday analogies are used where possible to untangle complex ideas so that each subject is made relevant and approachable.
