[Emmie Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've learnt so much from this book and everything is explained so simply and clearly! The photographs are just so beautiful and I'm actually obsessed. The universe is just so amazing and so vast that I honestly love learning more about it and sharing what I learn!

For example, did you know that every star in the sky is slowly changing position so constellations are changing shape? Or that 5,200 tonnes of space dust lands on our planet yearly and while not generally viable to the naked eye there is a chance that everytime you go outside some space dust has landed in your hair?
