'Science has never been so horrible!' - By: Amazon Reviewer, 01 Mar 2007
`Space, Stars & Slimy Aliens' is off on another planet! Will you be spaced-out to discover:-

which astronomers killed people?
why space makes the guts explode?
what the moon smells like?

If you think you can stomach the `sick' side of Science, then read on as we blast into outer space. Zoom around the planets with `Oddblob' the alien, find out which galaxies eat each other & see if you've got what it takes to be a staggering stargazer.

With fantastic fact files, quirky quizzes & crazy cartoons, `Space, Stars & Slimy Aliens' is out of this world!'

143 pages, writtenin a variety of fontsin the usual Nick Arnold entertaining style.
Black & white illustrations/cartoons throughout, as well as `Bet you never knew' fact-boxes, e.g.:-

`The `Van Allen' belts, named after US scientist James Van Allen, who found themin 1958, are between 1000 & 25000 km from Earth. The Sun's radiation gets trapped by the Earth's magnetic fieldsin the belts. But if a spacecraft broke down there, the astronauts would be revoltingly roasted by the radiation.'

Science has never been so horrible!
