The astronomer’s guidebook for kids ages 7 to 13
One of the coolest things about outer space is that anyone can explore it. All you have to do is go outside and look up! Using plain sight, binoculars, or a small telescope, Astronomy for Kids shows how easy it is to explore space, just by stepping outside.
From the Milky Way Galaxy to Mars to the Moon’s craters and mountains—Astronomy for Kids helps young astronomers discover important parts of our solar system, with:
- 30 sights for the naked eye – objects to see without any equipment, including Orion’s Belt, the Big Dipper, Mars, and even the International Space Station.
- 25 sights magnified with binoculars or a basic telescope to make objects in the sky easier to find and explore. Plus, buying tips and tricks to get the most out of astronomy equipment.
- Clear illustrations that show kids where to look and what they can expect to see.
Like all new things, outer space is something you have to see to believe. Astronomy for Kids teaches kids that planets, constellations, shooting stars, and meteor showers are not only in books—but right above them.
