Is it possible for humans to live on other planets? What will happen on the next mission to the Moon? And was there really once life on Mars?

Brought to you by the infectiously enthusiastic team behind The Supermassive Podcast from the Royal Astronomical Society, The Year in Space highlights the most exciting space news from the past twelve months and looks forward to the year ahead.

Packed with features, interviews, in-depth explainers and stunning photography, it covers everything from the extraordinary new images from the James Webb telescope to the search for extraterrestrial life. You'll also find practical tips on what to look out for in the night sky in 2023.

Everything you could possibly want to know about recent space science accomplishments. Expertly delivered with a human touch. ― Professor Lucie Green

What a superb astronomical companion book this is. A fantastic snapshot and collection of all our astro and space travel events in this feverishly busy chapter we're travelling through! A fascinating and accessible read that shows what a hugely inspiring period this is, consolidating our place ever further into space. ― Jon Culshaw

Everyday STEM - Space

Everyone knows there's planets and stars and space rocks far away from Earth, but how do these, and everything else in space, effect us? From the beginning of the universe and the origins of the planets to the latest research and space missions, journey through space and uncover what is really out there. Discover how we're made of stars, find out how old you would be if you lived on Mars and how time travel can happen in space. Plus, meet the astronomers and scientists whose discoveries give us this fascinating space knowledge, including Stephen Hawking, Mae Jemison and caroline Herschel. Readers can also carry out astronomical experiments at home.

With easy-to-understand text written by Izzie Clarke, fun callouts and lots of colourful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter space and why it’s even important at all.

The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their “future success,” these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering, and maths in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can’t promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the purpose of, and practical applications for, STEM.
