Space is a mystery, but scientists have been discovering amazing things that exist outside our planet—and even outside our galaxy! These seven wonders of the Milky Way are only a taste of what has yet to be found and understood.

While space and stars can seem like abstract ideas without the context we have for learning about things on earth, Aguilar uses comparisons and examples to help readers understand things larger than we have ever seen. The voice and content are written to be engaging, which is appreciated at every age. Aguilar also points out things we don’t know yet, encouraging readers to become those with potential to help expand knowledge of the universe.
