Astronomy for kids : how to explore outer space with binoculars, a telescope, or just your eyes! / by Bruce Betts, PhD ; foreword by Erica Colón, PhD.

In Astronomy for Kids, planetary scientist Bruce Betts helps you find and name the amazing objects in the night sky and shares fun facts about them. From stars and constellations to the planets and their moons, the northern hemisphere has plenty to see as long as you know what to look for and where to look"--Page 4 of cover.
