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

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely love it..., 4 Sep 2001
By QQapple^.~ (Australia) - See all my reviews
This is the perfect CD not only for children. I love how it has so much information, absolutely beautiful photographs, 3d models, cool games, informations with links to related information, coolest 3d animation....and the best of all, the star dome!!!. Go to the star dome, point on a map where u live, insert date, time and u can see what stars are currently above your roof... Press on any star/or galaxy to get info of that star/galaxy/nebula/planet, time it rise or set, how bright it is it's size/type/age, and links to related info. Search in the star dome, a constellation, a galaxy/messiah/star(alphabetically/by brightness/messieh/other methods) plus there is an absolutely lovely relaxing music that perfectly matches the star dome. owned it for years, never got tired of it...learnt alot from it...done an assignment using it and my teacher commented that the assignment I did was at a university level!!! there are also info on astronomers, space crafts and history. and multiple choice tests to test your knowledge

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome PC Encyclopedia!!, 31 Jan 2005
This is a very informative, quite fun, PC Encyclopedia. It involves:
-The history of space travel,
-The knowledge we've gained in recent to ancient history,
-Lists of the objects in space (from black holes, to the hubble telescope),
...and much much more, including games.

Its a very interesting and entertaining CD suitable for the more educated, to the enquiring childs mind alike.
Definatly worth a buy.
