In the footsteps of the Astronomers Royal, our modern astronomers explore the past, present and future wonders of astronomy, space and the stars, taking you on amazing journeys to explore and experience the wonders of the night sky.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2022
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I’m not sure who this is aimed at. It’s too specialised for a casual adult reader, too advanced for most children and I suspect that most people who have the knowledge to complete it wouldn’t be interested in puzzle books. I really wanted to find the book engaging but think it needs to be more accessible (I don’t mean it should be dumbed down but maybe a blend of puzzles and explanation might work)
