"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 / "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 / "This fun and engaging resource could strengthen astronomy collections." - School Library Journal.
