It’s an interesting book, obviously for children. I found it for 10 dollars and thought it’d be super outdated, but it’s from 2016 so not really, the only thing outdated about it seems to be the design. I mean, it doesn’t call Pluto a planet so there’s that. It also seems well-researched since it includes stuff that hadn’t happened yet (but has now!) like the James Webb Telescope and the Space Launch System. It includes constellations at the end which was pretty fun and made me google a lot of stuff too.
