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

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!

elusive creatures. This time, the stories reveal the little-known
facts about young unicorns, which are notoriously secretive and
difficult to study. This beautifully illustrated compendium brings
together tales of rare encounters with young unicorns, called
younglings, from each of the eight unicorn families. Each story
tells the tale of a special relationship formed between a youngling
and a baby animal, as witnessed by a young person who is then
bonded with the unicorn for life. Find out how a Mountain Jewel
unicorn creates a lifelong bond with a wild panda cub and a young
man, and follow the Water Moons as they help a young girl and a
baby dolphin save their island from a sea monster. Discover the
differences between younglings and adult unicorns, from magical
powers that are just developing to the colours of their coats and
tails. Follow the flow chart to find out which baby unicorn would
be your best friend and discover what happens when a unicorn is
born and what their favourite foods are. The book also features an
introduction by Valentina Luz, the head of the Baby Unicorn
