Far Beyond The Sun

Brian wants to be taller than the sun. He looks through a book to find buildings and mountains that are tall, but he is sad to learn that he cannot go there. His dad introduces him to a telescope and by looking inside he is glad to see that he can see far beyond the sun.

There are some typos in the text. Also, one of the figures quoted in the text is incorrect. In the book, it says that the sun is 49,000,000,000 feet from Earth, but it is actually 487.83 billion feet from the sun.
