Recipe for a Solar System: Discover the cosmic ingredients of stars, planets, moons and more!

English

By (author): Professor Raman Prinja

Illustrated by: Kristina Kister

Assemble the ingredients of our solar system as it forms over billions of years - from the very first supernova to today!

For space lovers of all ages, get to know our solar system in a fun and memorable way! It's an 'astronomy cook book' with ingredients that include stardust and solar winds! Professor Raman Prinja, a true expert when it comes to cosmic ingredients, breaks down the steps that formed our little corner of the Universe.

In Recipe for a Solar System, readers experience the coming together of the remnants of the Big Bang. Through this recipe process, we can see the amazing connects between us - humanity - and, for example, the frozen seas on distant planets. And we can appreciate the relationship between the wonky tilt of Uranus and the craters we know so well on the surface of our Moon. Here's a hint: they were all caused by powerful impacts with stray cosmic bodies in the early days of the Solar System.

You've never seen space science like this, with each step brought to life through fiery illustrations by Kristina Kister. Every page builds upon the last and shows you how to assemble dashes of planetesimals, to stir the solar nebula cooking pot, add a sprinkling of dwarf planets and cook a big batch of moons.

And don't miss the food-based baking recipes at the end of the book, where you can take the space fun into the kitchen and enjoy the results. Making astronomy delicious!

From the international award-winning author of Planetarium, Wonders of the Night Sky and The Future of the Universe.
