Each celestial body is explored wonderfully by our narrator, Oliver James Parkins and children will love listening to his fantastic voice.
Engaging storybook-style descriptions of each object allow listeners to delve into facts, myths, trivia, and key discoveries about the Solar System and beyond. Wonder at the rocky rings around Saturn, gaze at the fountains gushing from Jupiter's moon Enceladus, and marvel at mysterious interstellar visitors 'Oumuamua and Borisov. With reference tracks packed with fascinating information, you'll go away knowing something you didn't before, and you'll return time and again.
An attractive gift for children who can't get enough of astronomy, The Mysteries of the Universe is perfect for kids to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories.
Will Gater is an astronomy journalist, author, and presenter. His work has appeared in New Scientist, BBC Sky at Night magazine, Physics World, Focus, and Astronomy Now, among others.
