Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Children are fascinated by space, the planets, and the idea that there is "something out there". This CD-ROM is a great introduction for younger users, and covers almost everything you can think of to do with space and astronomy.
There are 3-D models of famous space craft for you to look at, and interactive areas in which you can put together a rocket ready for launch or land a module on the moon. But this CD is largely a database of information organised in lots of different ways. There are sections on the famous people of space exploration, the history of astronomy, and the different kinds of astronomy that exist today. You can find out how stars are formed and how they die, take a detailed look at all the planets in our solar system and learn about the history of the space race.
You can also take a trip to the Star Dome, which shows what you can see in the night sky from anywhere in the world on any date. Then, when darkness falls, pop outside your own house to see what you can see with binoculars, telescope, or the naked eye.The Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Space and the Universe is packed with information, and presented in the usual Dorling Kindersley easy to use style. It is ideal for any budding astronomer.--Sandra Vogel
