Description

On this adventure into deep space, readers become the first astronauts to set foot on the far side of the Moon, where the light is low, temperatures are extreme, and the land is pitted with craters that are so deep they have never been exposed to sunlight. What lies within may reveal incredible secrets about our universe, and provide a stepping stone to Mars and beyond . . .

With dreamy illustrations and a surrealist flair, Explore the Far Side of the Moon transports readers into the moon boots of an astronaut, appointed to pioneer the very first crewed mission to the far side of the Moon.

Planetary scientist Dr. Sheila Kanani introduces readers to their fellow crew members, providing guidance on what to pack, what to wear, and how to prepare a space rocket for liftoff (not to mention an equally important explanation of how to go to the bathroom in zero gravity). From there, readers will discover how to enter lunar orbit and dock at the brand-new lunar space station where they'll be placed. Mission specialists will then venture solo to land the spacecraft on the lunar surface and embark on their exploration of the Lunar South Pole.

Published in anticipation of NASA's launch of Artemis III, which will take the first woman and first person of color to the Moon, the book feeds off the excitement of a new era of lunar missions.
