Astronomy is always a cool science subject. There is so much going on in just our solar system. The book provides accurate photos of planets, moons, and galaxies, as well as biographical information on those who made space study possible. It also goes over constellations and the types of stars that exist. The language can get a bit complex, so this is good for older readers. It's a great way to learn about space without all the math involved. Since the book was published, more discoveries have been made, but it gives the basics in a fun and interesting way. I'll never get tired of looking at the Pillars of Creation.
