Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock is a real-life space scientist (you may have seen her on the TV) with a passion for sharing the wonders of space and science.
From whether there are rainbows on other planets to what dinner tastes like on the International Space Station, this book is packed full of fabulous facts, mind-blowing insights and engaging explanations from the renowned space scientist. Mae’r llyfr wedi’i drefnu’n dair adran – Y Bydysawd, Ein Cyfundrefn yr Haul a Bodau Dynol yn y Gofod – sy’n golygu bod darllenwyr yn gallu picio i mewn i ateb unrhyw gwestiynau penodol sydd ganddyn nhw. Pollution has caused toxic air in our cities, and farming and logging have wreaked havoc on our forests. We are always keen to hear from people and like-minded organisations who are interested in working with us.A fascinating, gruesome, and utterly hilarious book filled with facts all about slime - from the slime sun-cream made by hippos to the monstrous fatberg hiding under the streets of London. This book is full of wondrous facts, questions and answers about space, spacecrafts and galaxies far, far away. The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy close to the Milky Way.

This process has been going on for something like 13 billion years and our solar system is thought to have formed only 4.
When those stars went supernova - exploded powerfully - and expelled the elements they had produced, they seeded the next generation of stars.We were fortunate to meet Dr Maggie and listen to her talk at the beautiful Sheldonian Theatre during the Oxford Literary Festival, along with a theatre full of young people and their families. Climate change is creating deserts and dead zones, and hunting is driving many species to the brink of extinction. When that happens to really big stars you can get some really, really spectacular supernovas,' Ashley says. The burning that takes place inside stars draws on a huge amount of fuel and creates an enormous amount of energy. Most of the elements of our bodies were formed in stars over the course of billions of years and multiple star lifetimes.
No matter the size, every gift to the Museum is critical to our 300 scientists' work in understanding and protecting the natural world. Invisible to the human eye, a single speck of this very pure, original stardust (known as a pre-solar grains, because they are older than our Sun) is only a few microns in size - 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair. About 2,400 massive stars in the centre of the nebula produce intense radiation and powerful 'winds' of ejected material.Suitable for upper primary school readers, this is a nicely illustrated book – Dr Maggie appears in the illustrations throughout the book with her robot assistant IQ – with a good level of text to the page, but not too much to put off more reluctant readers. The Oxford Trust is a charity and our Science Oxford team could not deliver its education and engagement programmes without the fantastic support of a multitude of partners.
