Product Description

Venus is known as the "jewel of the sky" because it is the next brightest object in space next to the Sun and Moon. This book accounts the early ideas about the planet that led people to believe it was much like Earth, to the work of probes and modern astronomers who have discovered how harsh its surface can be. The book concludes with speculations on what we may learn from Venus in the future.

For ages 8 to 10.
