Description
By: Matthew Dr. Bothwell
Based on real (and morbid) questions from children, expert author Dr Matt Bothwell has created a Supervillain Academy to teach astrophysics to middle graders.
"How do you travel in style across the galaxy?"
"What do aliens really look like?"
"What is the Fermi paradox and why should we care about it?"
Discover the answers to these questions and many more at the Supervillain Academy- the magnificently morbid school for young bad folks-in-training. Read more about how the search for extraterrestrial life and the search for planets are linked, the exoplanets and extremophiles that can be found all over the galaxy, and the weird and wonderful ways scientists think we (might) be able to travel around space.
At the Supervillain Academy, readers will learn about the solar system, galaxies, the universe, and, most importantly, the answer to the question "Are we really alone?". Perfect for fans of Kay's Marvellous Medicine and the Horrible Histories series, Astrophysics for Supervillains- The Great Alien Hunt is the second book of the Supervillain Academy series that will have curious kids keen to get to school on time!
