THE ESSENTIAL SPACE FACTS YOU MUST KNOW: 500 Mysteries About the Stars, Moons, Planets, Black Holes, and Beyond

Very well written and presented in a way that a layman can enjoy. Laid out in 500 little nuggets of mind blowing facts (and theories) of the Universe in which we are but a speck of dust in the wind. Fact #1 - we are all made from the same space dust. It continues from there through a riveting journey through the Universe, finishing with Fact #500 - Neil Armstrongs declaration upon stepping foot on the Moon.Highly recommended.

I need a better quality print, but the information is quite good and fun to read!

Very good book

It leaves me with a very pleasant and advisable feeling to know the scientific explanation of the natural phenomena that occurred to begin the formation of the universe, stars, constellations, planets, galaxies, stars and other wonderful natural physical phenomena that, coinciding with each other, have caused what Today we call it our world, which from my point of view could not explain so much coincidence without the manufacture or divine touch. Good job!

Small for the price! Stamped 926...not 925

This book is epic! I have a slight obsession with black holes and learning that black holes can be made 4 different ways, that they are completely invisible to the naked eye, how light gets trapped in black holes, how time stops... It was all so incredible to learn. It really puts this little teeny tiny life seem so remarkable.

Lots interesting facts a person never thought about.

My husband is obsessed with all things space, this book was a perfect gift for him for Christmas.

The content of the book is great, but in its current digital presentation it cannot be rated above 3 star. The presentation looks like something from late 18th/early 19th century second class print shop. It’s too light, it’s got words & rows hashed together in places where the height & spacing is not done properly!I’m really disappointed as I was looking forward to reading about many different concepts, phenomena & facts in the book & it’s truly difficult to read properly & navigation is non-existent.This was advertised to me & I snapped it up immediately. There really needs to be quality control from a company that basically ‘owns’ the market for ebooks. With the amount of money Amazon are hauling in through Kindle alone; they can easily afford highly diligent & capable practitioners of these arts!

The book is fascinating but the printing stopped it getting 5 stars. The layout and the paleness of the print made it impossible to read if you have poor eyesight.

If you’ve watched various BBC TV broadcasts about space (Brian Cox) you’ll have a good idea of what’s contained in here. It’s aimed at the complete novice who knows very little about space. There are no diagrams to illustrate the information in here which would’ve made it more appealing.
