School Library Journal - 04/01/2025 Gr 4–6—Current and future plans for space exploration are discussed in this collection of titles. Detailed explanations of solar and space probes, Mars rovers, and the Artemis program are among the topics presented with plenty of illustrations, fact boxes, and sidebars. Photos of distant stars captured by the James Webb Space Telescope as well as artist's concept drawings of future planetary habitats are just some of the images provided along with explanatory captions. Sidebars discuss mistaken ideas of early astronomers, the inspiration behind naming space missions, and other related subjects. A glossary and suggested books and websites for further information are provided. VERDICT A smart update to collections to highlight current and future programs. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
