ACHUKA Book of the Day 9 Jul 2024
Based on real questions from children, Dr Matt Bothwell — public astronomer at the Institute of Astronomy — has created the Supervillain Academy to teach astrophysics to middle graders.
Exciting life announcement… I have a new book series coming out with @dkbooks! This is a project I’ve been working on for a couple of years, and I’m so excited it’s ready to share. 1/https://t.co/OiYztmH0Nc pic.twitter.com/eEtkWq4Ov1

Could you crash the Moon into the Earth?
If the Sun explodes, would we all get vaporised?
What’s the weather like on Mercury?
Discover the answers to these questions and many more at the Supervillain Academy, the magnificently morbid school for young bad guys-in-training. Facts about space are all well and good, but discovering that if you threw someone into a black hole, they would be spaghettified — stretched out long and thin before getting squashed smaller than an atom — is fascinatingly gruesome.
At the Supervillain Academy, readers will learn about the solar system, galaxies, the universe, and the answer to the question “Which planet is entirely populated by robots?”
Entertainingly illustrated throughout by Nathan Reed:
