Opinion- It was a very insightful book. Having always been interested in space I finally picked up this book and was not disappointed with what I read. It goes into detail of all the different subjects and makes it easy to understand. I'm not sure how to write an opinion for a nonfiction piece, the book being facts. So I will say that it can teach you a lot about space, or at least the basics so you know where to start. If I ever have a space project I will use this as a resource! IF you want to learn and or like Space give it a read. All in all a good astronomy book! ( )
