"""A lot of information lives between these covers, but a conversational tone and distinct bubbles of text make it easily digestible. ... The main pages include stunning photographs, illustrations, and digital renderings that work well alongside the chatty text. A wondrous introductory tour for any budding astronomer or would-be astronaut."" -- Booklist ""This fun and engaging resource could strengthen astronomy collections."" -- School Library Journal ""With a genial BBC science educator as guide, a good gander round our stellar neighborhood, from Earth to Oort cloud. ...the substantial factual payload, ably abetted by a closing 'ship's database' that includes a largely female gallery of astronomers and other 'space people, ' is lightened by the author/narrator's chatty style. ...a well-informed chaperone gives this one an added boost."" -- Kirkus Reviews"
