The book looks very inviting to read: its cover
has a beautiful picture of the Cassini spacecraft passing across
the rings of Saturn. The book is full of great photos, illustrations,
and charts.
Even though all the planets are interesting,
Saturn seems the most interesting because of its rings and number
of moons. I enjoyed the sections of the book telling about the history
of how Saturn was discovered and the astronomers who were involved.
I learned a lot about the Voyager
missions to Saturn and the Cassini-Huygens mission, which
will reach Saturn in July. The Huygens probe will land on
the moon Titan in January 2005. I can’t wait to see what they
find.
I had lots of fun reading the book. I kept stopping my father and
reading parts out loud to him. I wouldn’t change anything.
The book is extremely interesting and very informative. Out of a
score of 10, I give it a 9. Okay: 10! The one word I would use to
describe Exploring Saturn is fascinating.
