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. This pale blue planet is four times the size of Earth and is subject to constant violent storms and winds. In 1990, the Hubble telescope sent back pictures of Neptune. Apart from these cryptic images, Neptune has thus far resisted our efforts to explore it. Perhaps someday, a young reader of this book will step on the surface of this icy blue planet. |
