Science meets design in this graphically stunning tour of our universe from the team behind the global best-seller Exploring the Elements

Science meets design in this graphically stunning tour of our universe from the team behind the global bestseller Exploring the Elements.

This artful and accessible guide to space allows young readers ages eight and up to understand everything in the universe, from Earth to our solar system, to the Milky Way and beyond.

Ordered into six sections starting with Earth and moving outwards, the book presents fascinating facts and the stories behind some of the most extraordinary features of our universe, from supergiant stars to black holes, and the technology we use to understand it, from space telescopes to robotic space rovers.

Beautifully designed, with gorgeous screen-print-inspired illustrations in bold Pantone colours, stunning page layouts, and a removable jacket featuring holographic foil, Exploring the Universe is an immersive journey through the cosmos, revealing not just what we know, but how we know it.
