My First Book of Space: Developed in conjunction with NASA (Hardcover) A Journey Into Space An informative first book about our solar system with full-color photographs selected form NASA's archives. Introduces the solar system, examines each planet, and looks at the stars of space. Grade 4-8 An introduction for upper elementary/middle school age students in picture book format. The emphasis of the book is on our sun, its nine planets and their satellites. The authors also discuss asteroids, comets, meteoroids and other stars. The text is accurate, incorporating the latest data from the Voyager flights of the early 1980s. The most valuable feature of the book is its illustrations. They are large and in color, with the exception of two diagrams. Often captions explain how the photograph was taken (telescope, satellite or rocket probe such as Viking or Voyager) and tell whether color or detail has been added by computer.
