Books with title Venus

Do you ever wonder what you are really seeing when you look at pictures transmitted from space? Do you marvel at today's discoveries? Can you imagine how we ever got this far? Blastoff! sets out to satisfy the curiosity of the budding astronomer in us all, planet by planet. Each volume begins with a fascinating history of the planet's discovery by ground-breaking scientists who worked without the advantages of today's technology. Readers then reap the benefits of that same technology by blasting off to explore in accessible detail each planet's surface, atmosphere and satellites. A discussion of future possibilities concludes each volume, suggesting that, while much has been discovered, there are plenty of mysteries yet to be unraveled.

Children are often fascinated by the concept of Earth's nearest planetary neighbours, and this series of books takes a scientific look at each planet in turn. This particular book looks at Venus, establishing its position relative to the sun and the other planets which surround it, and describes the discoveries that have been made about Venus by scientists as they probe deeper into space. Also included are theories about the planets physical composition and characteristics. Each title of the series "Exploring the Planets" includes illustrations of the surface panorama, diagrams and photographs of space probes and their associated rocketry.

This is a Level 3 title and is written specifically for transitional readers. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Dash! is an imprint of Abdo Zoom, a division of ABDO.
