Space the final Frontier



Is it eight or is it nine? How many planets are there? What is each planet like? Have you ever wondered? It's time to explore space. It's not time to space out. About our Solar System.

Wanna lose weight, well don't go to Jupiter. Check out this site that will calculate your weight throughout the solar system. Weight in other Worlds.

Its time to think beyond our solar system and how can we, on Earth, study the outer reaches of our universe? It's time to visit the different parts of the universe. Use this site to find out more about DEEP SPACE.

Finally, use the Astronomy Dictionary to look up these uncommon objects of space that are often mentioned in you favorite Science Fiction movie.

  • binary star
  • bolide
  • Earthshine
  • nadir
  • parsec
  • quasar

After looking these up, have fun playing the games/activities located on the Astronomy For Kids homepage.
