Product Description
Two new books have been added to Crabtree's Eye on the Universe series, an introduction for children to the exciting discoveries we have made in space and the mysteries that still remain. Up-to-date photographs taken through powerful space telescopes such as the Hubble give children a close-up view of:
-- the planets in our solar system
-- natural phenomena such as light shows in the sky
-- the technology we have launched into space
-- how people live and work without gravityAstronauts cannot take showers in microgravity. Tiny drops of water could drift away and damage equipment so they have to make do with a wet cloth and rinseless shampoo. Discover what it is like to live and work aboard The Space Shuttle. Simple text and awe-inspiring color photographs and diagrams show:
-- inside the shuttle
-- living conditions
-- the various roles of the ground crew
-- the shuttle's role in our future in space
