What's Up with Gravity? Cover

What's Up with Gravity?

It's a force that is a vital part of everything we do and it affects the entire universe. Yet we can't see it and often don't even think much about it. So what is up with gravity? This book reveals how many fascinating facts we can discover about gravity by observing what it does all around us. It looks to the stars and planets to explore the extraordinary role of gravity there. And what's up with gravity when humans, eggs and pens try to escape it by travelling into space themselves? The answers are out of this world.
