Suitable for upper primary school readers, this is a nicely illustrated book – Dr Maggie appears in the illustrations throughout the book with her robot assistant IQ – with a good level of text to the page, but not too much to put off more reluctant readers. Mae Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock yn wyddonydd gofod go iawn ac mae’n frwd dros rannu rhyfeddodau’r gofod a gwyddoniaeth. The other way to study the life cycle of stars is by finding samples of cosmic dust and observing them through an electron microscope.

Most of the elements of our bodies were formed in stars over the course of billions of years and multiple star lifetimes.So it's very likely that there are a whole bunch of different stars that have contributed the elements we see in our own solar system, our planet and those found within you. This excellent book presents Dr Maggie’s answers to some brilliant questions asked by children, from “Did a person drive a car on the moon? Invisible to the human eye, a single speck of this very pure, original stardust (known as a pre-solar grains, because they are older than our Sun) is only a few microns in size - 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair. She spoke about her challenges at school, her big dreams that had driven her to pursue space science, and the dreams she still has, such as travelling to outer space. Written in Dr Maggie’s fun, accessible style, and featuring out-of-this-world illustrations throughout, it’s guaranteed to bring the wonders of space and science to life for young readers.

When you look at the stars through a telescope what you're seeing probably happened millions of years ago,' Ashley says. Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock (MBE) is a space scientist, celebrated STEM educator and communicator, and presenter of the long-standing BBC’s The Sky at Night. of our bodies) and lithium, which our body contains in very tiny trace amounts, originated from the Big Bang. We are always keen to hear from people and like-minded organisations who are interested in working with us. The next generation of seeded stars were then able to produce other, heavier elements such as carbon, magnesium and nearly every element in the periodic table.

Pollution has caused toxic air in our cities, and farming and logging have wreaked havoc on our forests. Things that are made at high temperatures in the atmosphere of stars are resistant to acid and therefore left behind. People tell us they 'still get shivers walking through the front door', and thank us for inspiring the next generation of scientists. From black holes to dining experiences on the International Space Station, this wonderful volume from a prize-winning scientist and broadcaster collates tons of thrilling information for aspiring astronauts. The feel is fun and informative, and it’s a great book for someone just getting started with space science.

Climate change is creating deserts and dead zones, and hunting is driving many species to the brink of extinction.

Intrepid wildlife reporter Andy Seed is back with another collection of interviews for which he has risked personal safety, and gotten seriously wet, while talking to the giants of the oceans. X-rays are shown in blue, produced by superheated gases, resulting from supernova explosions and stellar winds.The first stars burned their fuel quickly and were able to make only a few elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. Every element was made in a star and if you combine those elements in different ways you can make species of gas, minerals, and bigger things like asteroids, and from asteroids you can start making planets and then you start to make water and other ingredients required for life and then, eventually, us.
