Looking Up! - The Science of Stargazing (Ready-To-Read Level 3)

Did you know that comets are sometimes called "hairy stars?" Or that if you saw a sunset on the moon, the sun would look white because the moon doesn't have an atmosphere? You'll learn this and more as you become an expert on the objects in the sky. Plus, the book contains a special section about the August 2017 total eclipse of the sun that'll be visible throughout most of the United States.
