The vast black unknown that watches over everything makes us wonder. It made our ancestors wonder, too. Even though they couldn’t go there, their minds wouldn’t accept to know nothing about it. They craved to know the amazements beyond the Earth. Even without the technology we have today, they still explored, and explored, and explored. In the next few pages, you shall read about the people who explored before space before we could get there and what they found out about the heavenly bodies above us.

You will find out about how the earliest space explorers studied the skies by studying constellations. You will be amazed by the man who started modern physics, Galileo Galilei. Isaac Newton’s phenomenal accomplishments will astonish you. You will learn about the unbelievable effects of gravity. All in all, you’ll just want to keep on reading, and I can’t blame you!
