Clouds in Space: Nebulae, Stardust, and Us by Teresa Robeson

Clouds in Space: Nebulae, Stardust, and Us by Teresa Robeson

Real space science meets beautiful images in this lyrical nonfiction introduction to one of the most alluring wonders of our universe--the nebula.

Nebula means "cloud" in Latin, but these little-known astronomical phenomena are different from Earth's clouds. They can be the last breaths of supernovas, spreading the elements of life far and wide, or they can be star nurseries, swirling molecules together to form stars and planets. In this gorgeous nonfiction look into the cosmos, the nebula narrator invites young astronomers to learn more about these immense space clouds, from how they form to what they do. Readers will be entranced by the vibrant illustrations, which incorporate real photographs of nebulae, and the poetic text, which reveals that we are all grown from scattered stardust. Rich back matter provides details about nebulae and how people have studied them, the nebulae pictured in the illustrations (listed as the "cast"), and resources for further learning.
