Description

This book presents information about Neptune, including fast facts, history, and technology used to study the planet.

Quick Summary

Neptune spins faster than any other planet, has supersonic winds that blast at 1,200 miles per hour, and hides a mysterious dark spot that appears and disappears like a cosmic ghost. The book serves up wild facts about this ice giant through quick chapters, vivid pictures from Voyager 2's historic flyby, and a timeline that shows how humans went from guessing about Neptune to actually seeing it up close. If your kid loves the space trivia and visual punch of the National Geographic Kids Weird But True series, they'll devour this planet-packed guide. Ideal for kids in grades 4 through 7 who are curious about space and want a fast, photo-filled read that feels more like exploring a cosmic mystery than studying a textbook.
