Ada and the galaxies / Alan Lightman, Olga Pastuchiv ; illustrated by Susanna Chapman. - Somerville : MIT Kids Press, 2022.  - 1 volume : chiefly illustrations (colour) ; 26 cm

Stargazers rejoice! In his first book for children, renowned physicist Alan Lightman and collaborators, with help from the Hubble telescope, lights up the night sky. New York Times bestselling author and renowned physicist Alan Lightman, in collaboration with author Olga Pastuchiv, show us the wonder of our galaxies. Layering photographs taken from the Hubble telescope into charming and expressive art, illustrator Susanna Chapman beautifully evokes one girl's excitement at the incredible night sky. Ada knows that the best place for star-gazing is on the island in Maine where she stays with her grandparents every summer. By day, she tracks osprey in the trees, paddles a kayak and hunts for shells. But she can't wait for the night, when the sun goes down and the stars blink to life. But will the fog tonight foil her plans, or will her grandfather find a way to shine a spotlight on the vast puzzle of the universe?
