A journey through the universe for curious minds

From your backyard to the edge of the universe

Explore 61 wonders of space one step at a time – planets, stars, black holes and galaxies – then hold up your phone to find them in the real sky.

Chapter 1

Our Solar System

From under your feet to light-hours away

Start right here at home. Meet the Sun’s family – rocky worlds, giant planets, icy dwarfs and comets – all close enough for spacecraft to visit.

Chapter 2

The Stars

A few to thousands of light-years away

Leave the Sun behind and travel to other suns. Discover glittering stars, the pictures people drew between them and alien worlds orbiting far-off stars.

Chapter 3

Life and Death of Stars

Hundreds to millions of light-years away

Stars are born, grow old and die, just like living things. Explore glowing star nurseries, dazzling explosions and the strange, crushed objects stars leave behind.

Chapter 4

Galaxies and Beyond

Thousands to billions of light-years away

Zoom out until whole galaxies look like specks of dust. Then travel back in time to the Big Bang and the mysteries scientists are still trying to solve.
