An OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD adventure from Lucy and Stephen Hawking

Aus dem Klappentext

'Welcome,' said Cosmos, 'to the universe!'

When George's pet pig breaks through the fence into the garden next door, George meets his new neighbours - Annie and her scientist father, Eric - and discovers a secret key that opens up a whole new way of looking at the world. From outer space!

For Eric has the world's most advanced computer, super-intelligent Cosmos, who can whisk George and his friends off to any point in the universe. Suddenly George is on a rollercoaster ride through the vastness of space - past planets, through an asteroid storm to the very edge of our Solar System and beyond.

But someone else has plans for Cosmos - plans which will lead Eric and George into terrible danger.

And there is nothing in space more dangerous than a black hole . . .

This terrific page turner combines a gripping and funny adventure with lots of fascinating scientific facts about our universe and the planets, including the latest ideas about black holes from Stephen Hawking. Plus full-colour photos of real images from space!
