Can You Get Music on the Moon?

Did you know that sound travels faster underwater? Or that crickets hear with their knees? Or that astronauts have played musical instruments in space?

Join Dr Sheila Kanani on a fascinating exploration of the science of sound – from the sound technology we use every day, to the animal world and natural phenomena such as thunder and earthquakes, before jetting off into space to discover what sound might be like on other planets and whether it’s possible to get music on the moon!

You'll discover mind-blowing facts about sound and space – like, did you know you can get marsquakes as well as earthquakes? Or that the president of the United States once made a phone call to the moon? Or that astronaut Chris Hadfield filmed a viral music video in space?

With stunning full-colour illustrations by Liz Kay that bring the magic of sound and space to life, this out-of-this-world book is perfect for getting kids aged 7+ excited about science.
