Aguilar presents informative descriptions of fake (but based on real) planets in the universe and basic statistics--gravity, surface temperature, sun type--relevant to sustaining life. For each planet, he profiles imagined life forms, illustrated with goofy but detailed computer-generated images and carefully designed to meet scientific parameters. A craft project is appended. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
