From lifeless craters on the Moon to the storms of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, readers will be fascinated to learn about the variety of places throughout our Solar System and to see the photos beamed back from distant space probes. Fun projects, such as making ice-cream comets, a bedroom planetarium, and observing the Moon in the night sky, allow children to investigate the subject for themselves.
