Destination: Space

Destination Space is loaded with fascinating information that was discovered through the use of the Hubble Space Telescope. The photographs in the book were images captured by the telescope. The information provided in the book itself explore the concepts of light years, the life span and birth of stars, different galaxies, supernovas, nebulas, cometary knots, and black holes. Written objectively, the book is full of information that is foreign to most people. The author has done a wonderful job at sticking to the facts and leaving out any of his own opinions and beliefs. While the book has a great deal of information that is offered in a clear, concise manner, it seems as though the subject matter may be difficult for children to show more grasp. This is solely due to the complexity of space-not how the author wrote the book. I would still provide children the opportunity to review the book, but expect most to feel slightly perplexed while reading it. show less

Another one for the science section of the classroom library. The illustrations are wonderful as is the information. A good book to integrate with astronomy lessons or related text sets.

This book has some amazing images, my favorite is the picture of Saturn. The information about the planets and spacial events is more for older readers, but could be used with many groups because of the interesing picture.

This book details much about the known universe and explains it in way that is easy to understand. It has wonderful pictures. It discusses star formation, galaxies, black holes, and supernova. This book is geared more towards higher grade levels. I can see using a portion or topic of this book as a jumping off point but no using the entire book for a lesson.

Beautiful book with amazing pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope.

This book explains the new discoveries about the universe made possible by the Hubble Telescope.

An informational book about space with pictures and a thorough description. An easy read book to help better understand space.
