In this book you will read about the sun and it's planets, about comets, meteors and the stars; about those things that you can see, others that are only visible through powerful telescopes, and yet others which nobody on earth has seen.\u003cbr\u003eFrom this book you can learn how men measure the size of the sun, why the moon seems to change its shape, why the earth is colder in winter than in summer. And you can test these facts by yourself by the easy experiments with ordinary objects like candles, modelling clay, and rubber balls, which are described inside. Later on, with the aid of the simple charts, you will be able to find and recognize some of the important planets, stars and constellations for yourself. \u003cbr\u003eThere are plenty of helpful photographs, and the explanation of each experiment tells you exactly what to do and the results mean. from the earth we go, by the way of the moon, the sun and the planets, to the stars themselves, in the depths of our strange and wonderful universe. This is real \"space travel\" of the most exciting kind!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Libris Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43556013965539,"sku":"EXL750-2936","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5675\/7951\/products\/photo_2022-11-23_09-24-59.jpg?v=1669214110","url":"https:\/\/www.exlibrismichigan.com\/products\/fun-with-astronomy-mae-blacker-freeman-ira-freeman","provider":"Ex Libris Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
