The books in this collection go into great detail to provide readers with interesting facts about each planet, including Earth. Cutting-edge information includes details of the February 2000 Endeavor mission, which used radar to create maps of Earth. The books will also give students a close-up view of many of the planets, courtesy of the photos sent back from the Voyager space probes and the Hubble Space telescope. This series is designed to touch upon several elementary school curriculum corollaries including Earth Science and Space Science. Young minds will surely be engaged as they learn more about space and its many mysteries. The surface on Venus is hotter than boiling water, appropriate enough for the planet named after the goddess of love. Despite its name, Venus is actually an extremely inhospitable place, with a poisonous atmosphere and violent lightning storms that constantly sweep its surface. |
