Book 5 - DeadlyScience - The Solar System - 2nd edition

From planets made of gas, to stars made of fire, our vast Solar System is filled with mysteries still to be explored and solved. Did you know that the world’s first astronomers were Indigenous Australians over 35,000 years ago? These Australians were the first humans to closely observe and note the movement of the planet and stars in space. So, buckle up and get ready to navigate the nebulas and comets with us as we explore space and begin to unravel the intricacies of our little corner of the Milky Way. 

The universe we live in is estimated to be 13.8 billion years old. Our galaxy is just one of millions in the universe that we know of, and our sun is just another star in the Milky Way. In this book, we embrace the knowledge of First Nations Australians- known to be the world's first astronomers - as we explore the amazing scientific and technological discoveries of space and our solar system.
