Have you ever wondered what stars are made of, or how they blaze into life? What about how a black hole works, or whether there's alien life somewhere in the universe?

These are the kinds of incredible questions that astronomers spend their days trying to answer. This book won't only give you basic answers, it really digs in to explain some seriously cool and mysterious ideas, from gravity to the origin of the universe to the problem of warping through spacetime.

Find out what Astronomers and Cosmologists have discovered so far, how on Earth they figured it all out, and the head-scratching problems they're still puzzling over in this thrilling introduction.

Chapters in this book include:
- Space rocks
- How light works
- Studying stars
- Black holes
- Gravity
- Is anybody out there?

Exploring complex ideas in easy-to-digest chunks, with expert input from astronomer Dr. Sheila Kanani MBE, Astronomy for Beginners is perfect for space-obsessed children aged 10 and above.
