About the Author
The National Geographic Kid is curious about the world around them, empowered in the face of challenges and responsible for others and the natural world. Combining these principles with the international educational heritage of Collins, this partnership is a natural fit for books that are funny, weird, exploratory, educational and loved by children.
Blast off in to space with the experts at National Geographic to discover everything we know about the universe, including exciting, recent discoveries and amazing brand-new NASA space photography.
The updated and expanded edition of the hit Space Encyclopedia presents the most up-to-date findings on space exploration and research and breathtaking views of the universe as captured by the latest and greatest technology, including the recent first-ever image of a black hole. It’s a complete reference, with everything kids need to know about our sun and planets (including the new dwarf planets), the formation of the universe, space travel, the possibility of life beyond Earth, and more. Authored by David A. Aguilar, an internationally recognised astronomer and former Director of Science Information and Public Outreach at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, it is authoritative, beautifully illustrated, and a must-have for every family, providing both accessible information for school homework and compelling reading on the mysteries beyond our planet.

I didn’t open a single page of this very important Book but I have send it to my Friend and his family but I know gone through encyclopedias. One of my very important friends gave me the English Encyclopedia before when I was out of War Field and Battle Fields.

Beautiful book (for adults & young people)
My 7 year-old grandson loves it. He picks it up often and looks up information. The colored pictures make it attractive to children.

Super good book for kids
Some of the large images are not fully visible due to the way of the pages are bound together. Shame because the quality of images are amazing.
