"National Geographic Encyclopedia of Space" by Linda K. Glover, Patricia S. Daniels, Andrea Gianopoulos and Jonathan T. Malay. The National Geographic Encyclopedia of Space offers clear and concise explanations of the planets; telescopes; manned space flight; satellites and the origin of the universe. The contributions of Nicolaus Copernicus, Edwin Hubble, and Stephen Hawking, and much more. Arranged in six thematic chapters, the Encyclopedia of Space brings together in one accessible volume the varied aspects of space science: the solar system, deep space exploration (manned and unmanned) and discovery, satellites and orbits, and the commercial, scientific, and military uses of space. Tables, diagrams, maps, and fact boxes provide additional information and value. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who landed on the Moon with Neil Armstrong, writes the foreword to the encyclopedia.
