The Day the Universe Exploded My Head by Allan Wolf illustrated by Ann Raff*

Mr. Wolf uses a variety of poetic forms as he celebrates space in this great book of poetry.  The poems contain interesting information about space and also are humorous at times. 
The author includes notes about the poems (additional information about the space topic and/or poetic forms) and glossary of space terms in the back of the book.
*Highly recommend.
I will be borrowing this book again when my sons and I read "poems for two/three voices" for Poetry Tea.
-Borrowed from the library.
