From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9–Like their predecessors, these entries in this valuable series combine clear, extended expositions with a vivid mix of colorful space photos, well-designed diagrams, and dramatic paintings of alien shores and skies. Asteroids begins with the Solar System's formation; goes on to describe how Bode's Rule, a mathematical oddity involving the relative positions of some (but not all) of the planets, led to the discovery of the asteroid belt; and then takes readers through meteor showers and to the tortured surface of a typical comet. Mars updates older titles with discussions of recent developments in the search for water and life on that dusty planet. Along with presenting pictures of the life cycles of both stars and the universe as a whole, Stars deals in unusual detail with galactic types and structures, capturing a sense of their immense scale with phrases like only about 45,000 light years.... All three volumes end with speculative comments on future exploration or evolution, plus extensive lists of Web sites and recent books. Solid additions for serious students of worlds beyond.–John Peters, New York Public Library
