About this title

Synopsis

What would it be like to be a space-time traveler? This unique "travel guide" includes more than 100 full-color Hubble photos and drawings for an unforgettable voyage of learning and fun. Kids can journey beyond the planets and see Deep Space through the "eyes" of the Hubble Space Telescope, as they: pick up little-known outer space trivia; consider the possibility of alien life forms; experience the sights, sounds, smells, and textures you'd encounter at each interplanetary destination.
