LOOK TO THE STARS

摘要

Look to the Stars is not just another children's book about Apollo. Instead, the first-person narrative by NSS Governor and Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin puts the accomplishments of Apollo into the personal and historical context of the human quest to reach the stars.rnLike a parent providing back story so a child can appreciate their part in a historical event, the book opens with a short summary of the contributions of the four most important figures in the history of astronomy: Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. (2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, in celebration of Galileo's first use of the telescope and publication of Kepler's laws of planetary motion 400 years ago.)
