In this book, Chevostik and Uncle Kuzya head to the observatory! There, a fascinating introduction to the celestial bodies that adorn our night sky awaits them. Together with your favorite characters, you will use a telescope to observe the Moon, the planets of the solar system, distant stars, and comets.
Why do we often see only a golden crescent if the Moon is round? How do planets differ from stars, and where did their names come from? What is a light-year, and why is one Earth year equal to four Mercurian years? Which planet in the solar system is the largest, and which is the most beautiful? Is it possible to see stars during the day, and where do comets get their tails? What are orbits and satellites, meteors and eclipses? As always, Uncle Kuzya has the answers to the most curious children's questions and a fascinating story about astronomy.
