Who isn't fascinated by the sheer size of the universe? Stars offers a straightforward guide to what we know and how we know it--from the Big Bang to star nurseries andto the beginnings of life on planet Earth. Find out why you can't draw a diagram of the solar system to scale, discover how gravity holds our planet together, and learn why we're all made of stardust.

Included inside:
- season-by-season guide to stargazing
- double-sided star chart covering the northern and southern hemispheres
- pull-out activities, including Test Your Eyesight cards and a "What do you weigh on other planets?" spinning wheel, plus four sheets of stickers
