Publisher's Review
◆ From the beginning of the universe to various stars and celestial bodies, and the latest research topics
The core of astronomy in one volume!

The questions of children gathered at the observatory go beyond simple curiosity and approach the essence of astronomy.
"How high do you have to go to reach space?", "Is there life on other stars?", "How much does it cost to go to space? Is it worth it?" This book addresses these questions, providing essential knowledge for future astronomers in a way that's accessible to children.
By following the dialogue between the two children in the book and the robot Dr. Chuck, children will naturally learn about the basic concepts of what 'space' is, as well as various celestial bodies and space phenomena such as the Earth, the solar system, planets, asteroids, galaxies, and black holes.
Scientific knowledge from other fields necessary for astronomy, such as atoms, gravity, the nature of light, and nuclear fusion, is also presented here, broadening the scope of scientific inquiry.


There is also an abundance of topics prepared to add scope and depth to your thoughts.
You'll explore the history and cultural background of space exploration, current research topics, and even philosophical questions like, "Why do people study space?" and "How will the universe end?"
It will be of great help to children who want to learn more about space, as it introduces space exploration methods that can be done at home and even space-related careers.

◆ Develop scientific thinking skills by constantly asking and answering questions
Explore the secrets of the universe!

All kinds of exploration begin with curiosity.
Whether you are a child who is new to space or finds it difficult, or a child who is very interested in space, you can learn about astronomy in a fun and easy way through this book, just like having a conversation.
Additionally, by repeatedly asking questions, you can develop your own thinking skills and feel a sense of accomplishment in solving problems.
As you progress through the book, you'll learn about current astronomical research topics, such as faster space travel technology and yet-to-be-identified celestial bodies, and develop a logical approach to examining phenomena and problems.
Furthermore, as you learn about the historical and cultural background related to space, such as the origins of the names of stars and constellations and the space race between the United States and Russia (Soviet Union), your perspective on the world will broaden.

◆ Introduction to the separate appendix
