Broken down into three sections, Origins, Phenomena, and The Solar System, the Universe section details how the universe came to be as it is today and describes the physical bodies we find in it. Starting with the Big Bang, an explanation of our expanding universe, and how galaxies and stars are formed, the Universe chapter goes on to explain the varying types of star and galaxy that are found in the night sky. The Solar System section then explains the local phenomenon and devotes pages to each of the major celestial bodies that comprise our Solar System, including Pluto, comets, asteroids, and meteorites. (For an explanation of the Solar System for younger children, do check out my review of The Skies Above My Eyes.)
