School Library Journal - Where Stars Go to Die
Gr 4-7–The James Webb telescope was launched into space in 2021 and is the largest and most powerful telescope ever made. This telescope was developed to provide glimpses into what the universe looked like millions of years ago, as well as help give scientists insight as to how the universe works. Here is a series that explains what Webb has found in its travels and what it has shared with scientists on Earth over the last two years. There is some crossover of content, but each volume highlights one of the areas of space that the telescope has documented in photographs, including the Tarantula Nebula where many new stars are born and the Milky Way where our solar system is located. Photos captured by the telescope along with blocks of color make up engrossing spreads. The text is readable with concepts defined throughout and a glossary at the end. VERDICT This winning series will be of interest to all who wonder about what lies beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.
