About the story

How many Earths could fit inside the Sun? What are Saturn's rings made of? And what exactly is a star?

Leo has a million questions about space, so he decides to find the answers himself. He climbs into his rocket, zooms past all eight planets, bounces on the Moon, and makes a dazzling discovery: every star in the sky is a sun, just like ours!

With bright, friendly illustrations and "Did you know?" fact pages that explain big ideas in simple words.
