Space has aroused curiosity from earliest known humans to today, and thus, this entry in the Science Fundamentals series traces what we have learned from the earliest peoples’ questions to sophisticated scienti c explorations of the twenty- rst century. This book helps students examine the layers of discoveries—such as the connection between neutron stars, black holes, and dark matter—and the scientists behind them, and may even inspire readers to pursue their own research.
