Fascinating Astronomy. Children's Encyclopedia

In this new and long-awaited book, Chevostik and Uncle Kuzya go to the observatory! Here they are in for an exciting introduction to the celestial bodies that adorn our night sky. Together with your favorite characters, you will look at... the Moon and the planets of the Solar System, distant stars, and comets through a telescope.
Why do we often see only the golden crescent of the moon if the Moon is round? How do planets differ from stars and where do they get their names? What is a light year and why is one Earth year equal to four Mercurian years? Which planet of the Solar System is the largest, and which is the most beautiful? Can we see stars in the daytime and where does a comet's tail come from? What is an orbit and a satellite, meteors, and an eclipse? As always, Uncle Kuzya has answers to the most curious children's questions and the most interesting stories about astronomy.
