At that point only the lightest elements existed, such as hydrogen, helium and minuscule amounts of lithium. Written in Dr Maggie's fun, accessible style, and featuring out-of-this-world illustrations throughout, it's guaranteed to bring the wonders of space and science to life for young readers. Fill out the form below and we'll work with our scientists to answer some of them in our online magazine Discover or on our YouTube channel. This is the first time in Earth's history that a single species - humanity - has brought such disaster upon the natural world.

When that happens to really big stars you can get some really, really spectacular supernovas,' Ashley says.

When you look at the stars through a telescope what you're seeing probably happened millions of years ago,' Ashley says.

For many, the Natural History Museum is a place that inspires learning, gives purpose and provides hope. Yes, we are all made up of elements that would have been part of stars, and which could have passed through numerous stars before ending up in us…isn’t that amazing and beautiful?Climate change is creating deserts and dead zones, and hunting is driving many species to the brink of extinction.
