This work introduces young readers to astronomy and the wonders of the universe, explaining complex concepts in simple and engaging language. It aims to captivate the interest of intelligent children while providing answers to their curious questions about the stars and planets. The opening of the book presents various observations about the Earth, the Moon, and the stars, capturing the imaginative curiosity of children regarding the night sky. Mitton describes how the appearance of objects changes with distance, illustrating the difference between the Moon and stars. The text establishes foundational concepts about celestial movements, including the Earth's rotation and its journey around the Sun, as well as the concept of gravitation affecting everything on Earth.
