Description
xDoes anyone out there just hate all the stars?
Despise every planet from Neptune to Mars?
Loathe the mere sight of an asteroid or comet?
Look up at the Moon and just instantly vomit? EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE IN RHYME
Astronomer Sean Raymond wraps space facts in poetry, explaining complex topics in playful prose. Drawings by Owen Raymond illustrate how our Universe works, from the phases of the Moon to "spaghettification." Eleven astronomical poems cover topics ranging from telescopes to black holes, from galaxies to the search for extra-terrestrial life, from the Big Bang to the planets. With a foreword by world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. PRAISE FOR BLACK HOLES, STARS, EARTH AND MARS This book (with its wacky poems and Dr. Seuss-like rhymes) appeals both to adults' inner child, and to the curious natural scientist in all our children. The illustrations by a 12-year old artist convey a reassuring sense of "I got this "
-- Jill Tarter, Astronomer and pioneer of SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) This delightful book is a gentle reminder of the better things in life, and science. With echoes of Dr Seuss and the skilled crafting of Edward Lear, Raymond and Raymond create a world well worth losing yourself in, all the while telling a story about the frontiers of our understanding of the universe. An absolute pleasure.
-- Caleb Scharf, Director of Astrobiology at Columbia University and author of The Copernicus Complex Cutting edge concepts dished out in poetry you'll want to be reading in striped pyjamas, Raymond presents clear explanations of the biggest concepts in astronomy today in a form guaranteed to intrigue and delight both scientists and artists of all ages.
-- Elizabeth Tasker, Astrophysicist, science communicator, and author of The Planet Factory Black Holes, Stars, Earth and Mars is like an Astronomy 101 textbook wrapped up in delightful Dr. Seuss style poetry. It's remarkably comprehensive and covers serious physics, but the easy rhymes make it simple to understand. I'd recommend it for kids learning about space, but also for any astronomy enthusiast
