Did you know there are mind-blowing treasures hiding right above our heads in space? Join Mira and Finn on an epic cosmic treasure hunt to discover what the Moon and planets are really made of! First, we blast off to the Moon, where dark, freezing craters hold billions of tons of water ice—the perfect fuel for future space explorers! Then, hold onto your spacesuits as we fly to the asteroid belt to find 16 Psyche, a giant metal rock packed with so much gold, iron, and platinum that it is theoretically worth 10 quintillion dollars! That is a number with 18 zeros! But the adventure doesn't stop there. We travel to the freezing edges of our solar system to visit Neptune, where extreme pressure crushes gas into microscopic crystals, causing it to literally rain solid diamonds deep inside the planet! We even learn about a distant exoplanet that might be made entirely of diamond and graphite. It is a journey filled with explosive fun facts, wild numbers, and a cosmic quiz to test your space knowledge. Buckle up and get ready to explore the wildest, sparkliest secrets of the solar system!
