"Space, the final frontier..." No, this isn't a review about a Star Trek book, but it does have to do with outer space.
What person hasn't gazed into the star-filled night sky and marveled at the millions of stars twinkling in the dark? Or wondered, "Is there life out there?""How vast is space? What exists out there? How does it all work and how, as human beings, have we charted and observed the stars?"
If you've ever pondered the infinite and find yourself in awe over the vastness of space then I have the perfect book for you.
