Assemble the ingredients of our solar system as it forms over
billions of years - from the very first supernova to today! For
space lovers of all ages, get to know our solar system in a fun and
memorable way! It's an 'astronomy cook book' with ingredients that
include stardust and solar winds! Professor Raman Prinja, a true
expert when it comes to cosmic ingredients, breaks down the steps
that formed our little corner of the Universe. In Recipe for a
Solar System, readers experience the coming together of the
remnants of the Big Bang. Through this recipe process, we can see
the amazing connects between us - humanity - and, for example, the
frozen seas on distant planets. And we can appreciate the
relationship between the wonky tilt of Uranus and the craters we
know so well on the surface of our Moon. Here's a hint: they were
all caused by powerful impacts with stray cosmic bodies in the
early days of the Solar System. You've never seen space science
like this, with each step brought to life through fiery
illustrations by Kristina Kister. Every page builds upon the last
and shows you how to assemble dashes of planetesimals, to stir the
solar nebula cooking pot, add a sprinkling of dwarf planets and
cook a big batch of moons. And don't miss the food-based baking
recipes at the end of the book, where you can take the space fun
into the kitchen and enjoy the results. Making astronomy delicious!
From the international award-winning author of Planetarium, Wonders
of the Night Sky and The Future of the Universe.
