This is one of a series of books that look at the excitement of scientific discovery, vividly bringing to life major breakthroughs in all the fields of science through the eyes of the great scientists.

From School Library Journal
Grade 6-10?This title begins with two-page overviews of the history of astronomy, early instruments used in both astronomy and navigation, and astrology. Double-page spreads on optical and radio telescopes, observatories, spectroscopy, the solar system, the sun and moon, and each planet follow. The book concludes with a discussion of meteors and cosmology. The illustrations consist of small, full-color reproductions of paintings and full-color drawings and diagrams; all have captions that often contain more information than the introductory paragraph they surround. An excellent introduction to the topic.?Margaret M. Hagel, Norfolk Public Library System, VA
