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!
