A nonfiction favorite from #1 science writer for kids Gail Gibbons, this updated edition brings the latest astronomy facts to young readers.

After the sun sets, on clear nights points of light begin to appear in the sky.  But when we look up at the night sky, what are we seeing?
 
Vetted by an expert, this new and updated edition introduces scientific facts about the stars, as well as how we look at and learn about them, through simple text and bold illustrations.  From ancient names for constellations to modern innovations in telescope technology, this book covers a broad range of ideas without overwhelming the reader.  It introduces and reinforces important vocabulary for the aspiring astronomer, explaining everything in clear, simple phrases.
