School Library Journal

“As an early introduction, this clear, informative, and helpfully illustrated look at our home galaxy’s shape, core, stars, star clusters, dust clouds, and other components will not only give younger tourists a sense of what to look for in their travels, but also a sense of wonder at the beauty, magnificence, and incomprehensible size of it all.” —School Library Journal
