Destination Space is a picture book by a man named Seymour Simon. The genre of this book is non fiction because the pictures that are shown are real.

 This book is about the pictures of stars, nebulae, other galaxies, planets, and other magnificent pictures of our universe. These pictures were taken by the Hubble Telescope, and have a lot of detail. My favorite part of this book is the picture of a cluster of stars named 47 Tucanae because of how it resembles Christmas lights.

If I were to describe this books pictures and information , it would be interesting. The reason to this is because of how clear you can see the images and the information that is given to help you understand the picture. This can be shown in page 5 and says “... but it’s really part of a star cluster called 47 Tucanae, about fifteen thousand light years from Earth.” This information is intersection because it talks about a star cluster and how far it is.

I really liked this book because of how interesting the information and pictures are. But the main reason I didn’t like this book is because there could have been some more pictures of certain things in our universe such as supernovas. I would recommend this to people who are mostly into astronomy and want to learn more about the things in our universe. Overall, the thing that the author wants you to understand is that there are lots of things in our universe with interesting information.
