Hello Space is published in conjunction with the new exhibition Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? at the Natural History Museum London. The book features Waterhouse, the Museum mouse, who contemplates the possibility of other mice, living in other museums, in places other than on Earth. The little mouse investigates where life may exist if not on Earth and learns that asteroids – and their offspring, meteorites – have shown scientists that what we know of life on earth can lead to understanding how life may exist beyond our planet.
