This book allows children to explore their curiosity and excitement about the moon. It is well illustrated and the narration is interesting and keeps their attention. They are learning, yet it is fun. It is unique because the story is supplemented with short teaching times referring the child to the pictures on the page. (Even I learned a few things about the moon.) My son has always wanted to ride in a space ship... Now he wants to live on the moon! "It is so cool," he said. I highly recomend this book. ...

Kidseclipse: Total Solar Eclipse Teaches children the wonders of astronomy through total solar eclipses. Essays from kids worldwide, teach section for classrooms, and gallery of past eclipses. http://www.kidseclipse.com/
Extractions: Though the Viking Landers in the 1970s observed the shadow of one Mars' two moons, Phobos, moving across the landscape, and Mars Pathfinder in 1997 observed Phobos emerge at night from the shadow of Mars, no previous mission has ever directly observed a moon pass in front of the sun from the surface of another world. The current rovers began their eclipse-watching campaign this month. Opportunity's panoramic camera caught Mars' smaller moon, Deimos, as a speck crossing the disc of the sun on March 4. The same camera then captured an image of the larger moon, Phobos, grazing the edge of the sun's disc on March 7.

ASTRO KIDS: Venus Details about the shape, the size, the surface and the atmosphere of the planet. http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/venus.asp
Extractions: JPL / NASA Venus is the second planet from the sun. Its average distance from the sun is 67 million miles. Sometimes called Earth's sister planet, Venus is slightly smaller than Earth. It's also our closest neighbor at about 25 million miles away from Earth. Venus is hot enough to melt lead. Its surface temperature can get close to 900°F. This makes Venus the hottest place in the solar system after the sun. After the sun and moon, Venus is the brightest object in the sky. Because its thick clouds reflect most of the light Venus gets from the sun, the planet looks like a very bright star in the morning (just before sunrise) or evening (just after sunset) sky. The surface of Venus is covered with craters, mountains, volcanoes, and lava plains. Maxwell Montes is the highest point on Venus. It is more than 7 miles high. Standing on Venus would be like standing in a shallow bowl. The atmosphere is so thick and heavy that it bends light, making the ground appear to curve upward in all directions. The planet's atmosphere is 90 times heavier than Earth's. Venus has sulfuric acid clouds. Its atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide (96%), nitrogen (3.5%), and carbon monoxide, argon, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor (all less than 1%).
ASTRO KIDS: Uranus Details about the movement, the size, the temperature, the atmosphere, the gravity and the moons of the planet. http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/uranus.asp
Extractions: JPL / NASA The seventh planet from the sun, Uranus orbits at a distance of about 1,784 million miles (more than 19 times farther than Earth). Uranus is the planet tipped on its side. Uranus spins more like a barrel on its side than a top. This strange tilt may be the result of being hit by a fast comet that tipped Uranus on its side. Uranus spins on its axis one time every 17 hours and goes around the sun one time every 84 Earth years. About 4 Earths would fit across the face of Uranus. Its diameter is 31,763 miles, making it the third-largest planet in the solar system. Astronomy.com: Terri Field The atmosphere of Uranus holds hydrogen (83%), helium (15%), and methane (2%). Methane is what gives Uranus its blue-green color. There are 11 narrow rings that encircle Uranus. William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781. To escape the gravity of Uranus, you need to travel 47,600 miles per hour. The planet's 5 largest moons are: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, and Miranda. There are at least 10 smaller moons orbiting closer than Miranda, and there may be another 6 moons farther away from the planet. Uranus was the father of Saturn and grandfather of Jupiter.
ASTRO KIDS: Pluto Offers details about its temperature, its size and its gravity. http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/pluto.asp
Extractions: A. Stern/M. Buie/NASA/ESA PLUTO Pluto is the ninth planet from the sun. It orbits at a distance of 3,647 million miles (nearly 40 times as far from the sun as Earth is). With a diameter of only 1,485 miles, Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system. It takes Pluto 248 Earth years to go around the sun one time, and 6 Earth days to spin on its axis one time. Scientists don't know if Pluto has an atmosphere or not. If it does, it may be made of methane and nitrogen. Pluto's surface has dark markings and is probably made of methane and nitrogen ice. Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930 at Lowell Observatory. Because Pluto is smaller than many of the moons that orbit other planets, some scientists think Pluto should be reclassified as an asteroid. But unlike most asteroids, Pluto is round like the planets. To escape Pluto's gravity you need to travel 2,500 miles per hour. Pluto and Charon
