Take a journey across the universe with flaps, pop-ups, and pull tabs that make this the ultimate interactive atlas of space.The Atlas provides every young aspiring astronomer with an enthralling, up-to-date overview of the known universe, and the history of its exploration. The latest scientific space concepts are clearly explained through a unique mix of narrative and interactive features such as a 3-D relief solar system map and a pop-up orrery. Each spread is clearly organized, and communicates a wealth of key information, from planets, star formation, black holes, and nebulae to spacecraft, comets, and asteroids.
One of my students lent this book to me, and it’s SO COOL!! Published in 2008, so there’s some outdated information, but the interactive flaps and wheels and pop-ups definitely make up for that. I’d love to have an updated version!
