Our Galaxy and the Universe

What is a galaxy? How large are they? What is a nebula, globular cluster and black hole? Where are stars born? How big do they get? How do they die?

Up-to-date answers to these and other questions can be found in this illustrated book on galaxies and the Universe.

Our Galaxy and the Universe introduces youngsters to the wonders of astronomy by exploring the universe and our own Milky Way Galaxy. Learning about galaxies, stars and nebulae will occur naturally as they examine photographs, compare information and follow the explanatory text. There are even star charts to help find and observe some of the celestial wonders pictured in this book.
