[Joan · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the Space Launch! titles from Weekly Reader for young readers.. Diagrams and photographs accompany the interesting text, answering basic questions and providing foundational information for young learners. A glossary follows the text, supporting reader learning and understanding. A strength of the series is the presentation of information in such a way as to capture the young reader’s interest

Young readers investigate the latest discoveries about Neptune, learn about its rocky and dusty rings, and investigate findings sent to Earth by the Hubble Space Telescope. Topics in this book include future missions, missions to Neptune, what can we see, Neptune in history, Neptune’s rings, Triton, and much, much more.

Highly recommended.
