Dr Maggie's Grand Tour of the Solar System
Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Chelen Ecija
This mind-blowing book invites readers to join BBC presenter and renowned space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock (MBE) on an epic journey through the Solar System – visiting planets, moons, asteroids and satellites, and travelling to places where no human has been before. Along the way, kids can discover how we could live on Mars, learn about the hunt for a mysterious super-Earth, have a snowball fight on Mercury, climb the tallest mountain in the Solar System and much, much more. From spotting solar flares on the Sun to exploring objects at the edge of the icy Oort Cloud, this fun, action-packed title leaves no question unanswered and no meteorite unturned.

This book teaches you how wide the planets are and how long is a day on the planet and how old it is. I learnt a lot about the moons reading this book.

I enjoyed this book because I really like space and it fascinated me. Maggie talked about the different planets and how Mars could possibly have life living on it that we don’t know about yet.

I liked the she taught me that at the end of the solar system the suns gravity is is so weak that any debris that is in the oort cloud can get sucked out of the solar system by other stars or disoryented by other stars and head to the sun and it takes 300 years to get to the oort cloud
