Anja C. Andersen Explains the Big Bang, Space Exploration, and Life on Mars

A year on Venus is shorter than a day on Earth. Mars has two moons called Deimos (fear) and Phobos (terror). On one half of Uranus it is always day—on the other it is always night. And three Lego figurines are on their way to Jupiter.

The universe is wondrous and wildly exciting. Not least when astrophysicist and astronomer Anja C. Andersen is your guide on a tour of the Milly Way. It is with great passion that she describes the planets’ characteristics, asteroids, the Big Bang, the possibility of life in outer space and real-life space exploration, among other phenomena.

This book is part of Carlsen’s series ARE YOU REALLY CLEVER? (ER DU RIGTIG KLOG?)—books filled with fantastic facts and random knowledge as told by Denmark’s best public scholars.
