Universal Reference Guide - SPACE

In space, there is no air or friction, which means objects like stars, moons, and planets can move smoothly and effortlessly along their paths, called gravitational trajectories. Gravity is the force that pulls these objects toward each other, and it controls how they orbit and interact in space. Without friction to slow them down, celestial bodies can travel at incredible speeds for millions, even billions, of years.

This book takes you on an exciting journey through the universe, revealing the vastness and diversity of space. You’ll learn about the solar system, where planets like Earth orbit the sun, and explore distant stars, galaxies, and black holes that are millions of light-years away. The book explains how stars are born, live, and eventually die in spectacular explosions called supernovas.

Beyond planets and stars, you’ll also discover fascinating things like asteroids, comets, and the mysterious dark matter that scientists are still trying to understand. Through stunning illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, the book makes complex ideas about space accessible to all readers. Whether you’re curious about the possibility of life on other planets or want to know how galaxies formed, this book will ignite your imagination and deepen your love for the wonders of outer space.
