After reading “The Star Outside my Window” I suddenly realised I had no books on stars or astronomy for the kids to read. So these have been of great use.

I didn't learn much from this book, but now I want to be an astronomer when I grow up. I've watched videos about cosmology and astronomy. The universe looks so big in the videos that I have trouble imagining it. After 150000000 years CMBR will vanish, leaving no evidence of the BB. After 2800000000 years the last remaining life on Earth will die of heat because the temperature at the poles will be 135 degrees! After 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years(10^100 years) there will be nothing left in the universe.
