Since ancient times, humans have been puzzled and awed by the
strange stars, peculiar planets, and out-of-this-world objects that
appear in our sky. Advancements in technology are now giving
scientists closer looks and first peeks at the weird and wonderful
things that make up our solar system and beyond. From Earth-like
moons to strange signals from distant galaxies, Bizarre Space
showcases the most shocking space discoveries, proving that what
lies beyond our little blue-and-green planet is fascinatingly and
often frighteningly bizarre. For example, you might know that
Pluto's no longer a planet, but why did it get demoted to float
among the other "oddities" of space? What happens to stars when
they die? What disaster is just waiting to happen to Mars? And why,
exactly, can't Uranus seem to roll straight? Bizarre Space takes
you deep into our curious cosmos to discover the mysteries that lie
beyond our home planet. Ages 9-12

So you want to go into space? WHY?! (No, really - it's sort of a
terrible idea. We humans are perfectly designed for life on Earth.
We can walk around, breathe, drink water, eat vegetables, read
books, not get poisoned or crushed to death when we go outside -
it's lovely right where we are.) Not convinced? GOOD! People have
been dreaming about space travel for centuries - there's something
amazing about the idea of leaving our planet behind and setting out
to explore the Universe - there's so much we still don't know. UK
and Ireland's best-loved comedian Dara O Briain takes you on a
journey from the safety of your comfiest chair to the furthest
reaches of space (and beyond!)
