Book Review: Supernovas
"What
is a supernova? How is it formed? What effect does it have on our Soar System?
What is a neutron star? These and many other questions are answered in this
book, one of six in the Explore Outer Space series. ... Young, would-be
astronomers need a good science background to understand these topics. With
great pictures, photographs, and illustrations, these books fill in that
background and explain those tough topics to children (and also help teachers
understand those topics). ...This is a great book for space enthusiasts and the
photos would draw even reluctant readers in to read the book. I highly recommend
the series."
