Universul exotic

Universul exotic looks at space through its records and extremes. It explores huge objects in space, and tiny ones too. It compares their speed, age, heat and cold, depth and height. It looks at their beauty and what makes them stand out.

It covers the largest galaxy we can see without a telescope. It also looks at the largest star and the brightest star. It explores the deepest chasms in our solar system. Playful questions link space science to things readers know. One asks about turning a cat into a black hole. Another asks how much a phone would weigh on the Sun.

This book about space has pictures and suits children and teens. Adrian Șonka uses humour to explain its facts and ideas. The first chapter gives readers the basics for the chapters that follow. Oana Ispir draws the pictures in colour.
