An 11-year-old author has sold hundreds of copies of his book about space.
Aston wrote "Things About Space" when he was eight years old. It's now sold over 700 copies.
Aston loves space, and his family donated the money made from the books to an astronomy charity.
British astronaut Tim Peake got in touch with Aston after finding out about the book, and signed a copy for him.
'Pretty cool'
As well as being bought by family and friends, Aston's book was sent to lots of different schools. The book was so popular the original version sold out, and he brought out a newer version last year.
Aston said it felt "pretty cool" when his friends asked him about his book.
He says he loves space and dreams of travelling up into space himself when he's older.
Aston has ADHD and autism and said he had created an audio version of his book so that neurodivergent children, or anyone who struggles to read, could experience it too.
Each page of the book has a QR code on it that you can scan to access a read-out version.
