Saturn is famous for its rings. This very windy planet has another
claim to fame, it has the most moons of all eight planets! Discover
more amazing facts about the sixth planet in the solar system!
Space is full of mystery. Scientists think that the planets, stars
and other space objects we see make up just 4 per cent of the
universe! Scientists studying space have a lot of choices to make.
Future space explorers will have many choices to consider too. Now
the choices are yours. Would you rather eat pre-packaged space food
or grow your own food in space? Would you rather catch a cold in
space or have space sickness? Would you rather travel to Mars or
Venus? It's your turn to pick this or that!
As humans continue to make amazing discoveries in outer space, we
also face a unique challenge - living in an environment that we're
not meant to live in. Find out how long-term exposure to outer
space affects the human body and what scientists are doing to
combat it.

Stephen Hawking's discoveries include the idea that black holes
give off radiation, or energy, and can eventually shrink and
vanish. He was also the first person to explain the universe's
origins using quantum physics, or the behaviour of tiny atoms and
particles, combined with Albert Einstein's General Theory of
Relativity, which explains how gravity, space, and time are related
to each other. This book looks at Hawking's life and work, and
shows how his discoveries both influenced society and contributed
to the work of other scientists working in the field of physics.
