Bestseller in the UK Amazon Children's Astronomy category!
The bare face of the universe seen through close-up photography
"The Mysteries of the Universe in 100 Photos" takes you closer and deeper into the mysterious universe with never-before-seen high-resolution photographs.
From beautiful planets and stars to distant galaxies and luminous nebulae, 100 scenes from the universe fill this massive panel.
You can see various astronomical images containing the latest research results, including the celestial body 'Oumuamua' that flew in from outer space, and the 'black hole' that was successfully photographed for the first time in history, all in one volume.
This is the first children's book written by Will Gater, a British astronomer and active astrophotographer. It was selected as a bestseller in the children's astronomy category on Amazon UK and also won the Platinum Award in the children's book category at the UK Junior Design Awards.

Into the book
Imagine what it would feel like to step into another world.
On the moon, the sky is pitch black, and there are no air or clouds, so even distant scenery is clearly visible.
There are no trees or grass, and the ground is covered with dark gray powder and has bumpy rocks and pebbles.
--- p.28~29, from "Walking on the Moon"
Imagine you somehow managed to safely cross Mars.
Perhaps all you can hear there is the sound of a gentle breeze or the occasional dust storm.
But billions of years ago, you would have heard the sound of crashing waves or the river gurgling between rocks.
--- p.62~63, from “Water of Mars”
Did you know there's a special region around our solar system that no one has ever seen before? It's called the Oort Cloud, and it's not just some fluffy, white fluff floating in the blue sky.
The Oort cloud is a huge group of comet-like objects that surrounds our solar system.
The Oort cloud is incredibly far away.
Some of them are thousands of times farther away than the distance to Neptune, the most distant planet from Earth.
--- p.116~117, from “Oort Cloud”
We don't yet know if there's life elsewhere in our galaxy, but we do know that there are other planets outside our solar system.
Because thousands of these exoplanets have been discovered.
--- p.134~135, from “Alien Planets”
If you were to travel further into space across our galaxy in a spaceship, you wouldn't just encounter stars and planets along the way.
We will also pass by nebulae, which are clouds of dust and gas.
Nebulae are scattered throughout our galaxy.
There are many different types.
--- p.150~151, from "Nebula"
When you walk along a country road on a foggy day, you can't see the beautiful scenery in the distance.
Astronomers face a similar problem when looking at the central part of our galaxy, called the "galactic center."
Because instead of fog, we encounter a huge, dark cloud of dust floating around our galaxy.
--- p.160~161, from “The Center of the Galaxy”
You probably know your next-door neighbor.
Or maybe you meet a friend on the street.
But did you know that our galaxy also has a neighbor in space? It's called the "Local Group," a group of nearby galaxies.
On the moon, the sky is pitch black, and there are no air or clouds, so even distant scenery is clearly visible.
There are no trees or grass, and the ground is covered with dark gray powder and has bumpy rocks and pebbles.

Exploring the vast universe beyond our solar system
A Fascinating Encyclopedia of the Universe
From the moment they open the book, readers embark on a long journey from Earth to the ends of the universe.
The spatial scope gradually expands as we move through the Solar System, Kuiper Belt, Oort Cloud, Milky Way, Local Group of Galaxies, and Local Supercluster.
Through its well-structured composition, you will naturally experience the vastness of space as if you were traveling in a spaceship.
Although it covers a vast amount of knowledge about the universe, it is written in short sentences so that even those new to astronomy can easily understand it.
Also noteworthy at the end of the book is a page that displays children's favorite constellations at a glance, as well as a timeline that summarizes the history and achievements of space research over time.
Storybooks from the British publisher Dorlingkindersley (DK)
Adding emotion to space knowledge
This book is written in a 'storybook style' by Dorlingkindersley (DK), a renowned British encyclopedia publisher.
Breaking away from the traditional encyclopedia format of large and small photographs and lengthy captions, we took a different approach, filling the pages with beautiful astronomical photographs and telling stories with a poetic sensibility.
Questions like "What if I set foot on Mars?", "What if I flew over Jupiter and looked down on the clouds?", and "What if our eyes were like giant astronomical telescopes?", as well as the connections between Greek mythological characters and celestial bodies, will spark children's imaginations.
The cover of the book is as beautiful as its content.
The gilded edges of all pages give it a luxurious feel and would make a great collection or gift.
Look at it from a cosmic perspective
The universe seen from afar, ourselves seen up close
While most children's astronomy books cover the solar system or its outer reaches, the Oort cloud, this book also covers the galaxy and beyond.
When viewed within the vast group of galaxies, the sun is just one of hundreds of billions of stars, and the vast universe shows that there are countless other galaxies besides our own galaxy, to which our solar system belongs.
The author explains galaxies, each with its own size and shape, by comparing them to the human form. This book allows us to see vivid images of stars in the universe constantly being born and growing, just like human life, and each ending their lives in different forms, as well as galaxies that are so far away that we cannot even fathom how they influence each other, collide, or attract each other, changing their shapes.
If children can see the larger world from a cosmic perspective through this book, their interests and thoughts will expand.
