Cosmic Collisions: Asteroid vs. Comet

More about the book

There's a comet speeding in from the outer solar system, and it's about to slam into an asteroid! Who will be left standing after this interplanetary smackdown? The first in a series of full-colour, illustrated, non-fiction readers for ages seven to nine, Asteroid Versus Comet narrates the oncoming collision of two of space's most epic bodies. Who will prevail? The pockmarked asteroid, a veteran fighter who's already taken some punches? Or the comet, with a heart of ice and rock and a tail that stretches millions of miles? Read on to find out - and learn lots about space and astrophysics along the way.
