520    Hang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar 
       system and back -- propelled by funny, fanciful, factually
       sound poems and exuberant illustrations. The universe 
       poured into me. My brain was overloaded. It smoked and 
       glowed red-hot. And then it actually exploded. Ever wonder
       what the sun has to say about being the closest star to 
       Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted 
       to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they 
       retire? Listen closely, because maybe, just maybe, your 
       head will explode, too. With poetry that is equal parts 
       accurate and entertaining -- and illustrations that are 
       positively out of this world -- this book will enthrall 
       amateur stargazers and budding astrophysicists as it 
       reveals many of the wonders our universe holds. Space 
       travelers in search of more information will find notes 
       about the poems, a glossary, and a list of resources at 
       the end.
