March 15, 2005
Michael Johnson and Douglas Millard (Walker Books, 2000)
The Belfast Telegraph was established in 1870. It certainly wasn’t around in 145AD! In ‘Space News’ the authors imagine there were newspapers around then. Writing as if they were news reporters at the time, they tell about some of our most exciting achievements in astronomy and in space.
In this book you can read about Copernicus and Galileo, about Newton and Halley. You can read about space flight and the space race. You can read about the most recent Pathfinder mission to Mars and future plans to land men and women on the planet.
