By the Brainwaves (Written by Carole Stott, Consultant Dr Jacqueline Mitton)

Illustrated by Lisa Swerling and Ralph Lazar

Why does gravity suck? What happens when you get to close to a black hole? How do you go about meeting an alien? Set the controls for hyper drive and come on a space-hopping, out-of-this-world ride around the Universe.

Take a madcap holiday on Mars, sign up for Astronaut School, and witness the birth of a brand new star! From big bangs to rings of rubble, shooting stars to gas giants, there's so much to discover.

This book’s publisher, Dorling Kindersley, is trying to be cleaner and greener: they recycle waste and switch things off, use paper from responsibly managed forests wherever possible, asks their printers to actively reduce water and energy consumption, and check their suppliers working conditions - they never use child labour.
