Since ancient times, man has admired the lights flickering in the night sky, trying to unravel the most important secrets of the universe. How big is the universe? How did the solar system originate? Is there life on other planets? Millennia have passed, answers to many questions have been found, but many are still the subject of research by scientists. One thing remains unchanged - the dream of man to conquer outer space.
The book Journey into Space: Amazing Facts about the Solar System by Swedish writer and teacher Peter Ekberg and artist Anders Nyberg provides young readers with such an opportunity! The heroes of the book, Professor Astro and his assistants - Jackie and Yuni - go on a journey through the solar system. They examine the Sun and its nearest planet - Mercury, compare the climatic conditions of Venus and Mars, explore the gas clouds of Jupiter and the fantastic rings of Saturn, get acquainted with the ice giants Uranus and Neptune.
Travelers fly through the asteroid belt and meet numerous comets on their way, and finish their space mission with a tour of the Earth and its only satellite, the Moon. The main characters move from one page to another, from one planet to another on a spaceship. The story about each planet is accompanied by an information line containing its brief description: the name of the planet and its type, the number of satellites, the radius and distance to the Sun, the length of the astronomical year and solar days. Thanks to Professor Astro's Handbook, readers can learn more about the Big Bang, galaxies, and stars.
