101. ASTRO KIDS: Neptune Includes images with the planet. Offers details about its temperature and its surface. http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/neptune.asp

JPL/NASA Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. It orbits at an average distance of 2,794 million miles (30 times farther than Earth). About 4 Earths would fit across the face of Neptune. Neptune is slightly smaller than Uranus and has a diameter of 30,775 miles. Neptune once had a Great Dark Spot that is like Jupiter's Great Red Spot. JPL/NASA It takes 165 Earth years for Neptune to go around the sun one time, but only 16 Earth hours for it to spin on its axis once. Neptune's moon Triton has a surface that looks a bit like the skin of a cantaloupe. JPL/NASA Neptune is encircled by a collection of 6 narrow rings. Because some places have more particles than in others, Neptune's rings form arcs around the planet. The atmosphere of Neptune holds hydrogen (79%), helium (18%), and methane (3%). Methane gives Neptune its blue color. The white spots on Triton are geysers. The black streaks are material being shot out of the geysers. JPL/NASA Neptune's atmosphere has a striped pattern like Jupiter and Saturn. Neptune once had a Great Dark Spot similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot. To escape Neptune's gravity you need to travel 52,600 miles per hour.

103. ASTRO KIDS: Saturn Provides images and facts about the size, the rings, the temperature and the moons of the planet. http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/saturn.asp

Reta Beebe /STScI / NASA Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. It orbits the sun at a distance of 888 million miles (about 10 times as far from the sun as Earth). Saturn would fit 9 1/2 Earths across its face. It is the second-largest planet in the solar system and has a diameter of 74,898 miles. Saturn is also called the Ringed Planet. Although Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have ring systems, Saturn's is the largest. Saturn's rings are 169,800 miles across, but only 10 yards thick. Saturn's moon Mimas looks like the Death Star spacecraft from Star Wars JPL/NASA Saturn's rings are made of ice and rock particles, some as big as a mini-van. If you could find a bathtub big enough to put Saturn in, it would float. Saturn's density is less than water. It takes Saturn 29 Earth years to go around the sun one time, but only 11 hours to spin on its axis one time. Saturn looks like a ball that is being squished. Because Saturn spins so fast, its middle bulges while its poles flatten out. This makes Saturn look like somebody is squeezing it. The atmosphere of this Ringed Planet is like Jupiter's atmosphere. Saturn holds mostly hydrogen (97%), helium (3%). Saturn also has beautiful bands like Jupiter, but these colorful features are hidden by haze and smog that make up the planet's high atmosphere.

104. ASTRO KIDS: Mercury Provides details about its size, its movement, its atmosphere and its surface. http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/mercury.asp

JPL/NASA Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Its average distance from the sun is 36 million miles. Mercury is about 3,030 miles (4,878 km) across. That makes it the second-smallest planet in the solar system; only Pluto is smaller. In fact, Mercury is just a little bigger than Earth's moon. It's also covered with craters just like the moon. Mercury's year (the time it takes to orbit the sun one time) is 88 Earth days long, but one day (the time it takes to rotate from sunrise to sunrise) is 176 Earth days long. Because Mercury is so close to the sun, it has the smallest orbit of all the planets. That means it goes around the sun very quickly (88 Earth days or about 3 Earth months). Mercury is covered with craters. JPL/NASA Although Mercury goes around the sun quickly, it spins very slowly on its axis. For every year on Mercury, the planet spins 1 1/2 times (about 59 Earth Days or 2 Earth months). But while Mercury is slowly spinning, it is still speeding its way around the sun. Mercury has to spin another 1 1/2 times for the sun to rise over the same spot. That means one day (sunrise to sunrise) on Mercury is about 6 Earth months long, and that's twice as long as Mercury's year! So every day on Mercury means 2 years! If you lived on Mercury, you would have 2 birthdays every day!!

105. ASTRO KIDS: Mars Images, details and facts about this planet, its surface and its temperature. http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/mars.asp

JPL/NASA Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. Its orbit is roughly 142 million miles from the sun. The planet's reddish color is caused by rust (iron oxide) in the soil. Mars is the planet most like Earth. It takes 687 Earth days (about 2 Earth years) for Mars to go around the sun one time, and Mars spins on its axis at about the same speed as Earth does. It takes 24 hours and 37 minutes (about 1 Earth day) for Mars to rotate one time. Part of the middle section of Valles Marineris JPL/NASA Olympus Mons is the largest volcano peak in the solar system. JPL/NASA Mars has the largest canyon (Valles Marineris), and the highest volcano (Olympus Mons) in the solar system. If Valles Marineris were on Earth, it would span the United States, from New York on the East Coast to California on the West Coast. It is about 1,300 miles long, 310 miles wide, and about 5 miles deep. Olympus Mons is nearly 3 times higher than Mount Everest. It rises above the Martian surface more than 82 thousand feet. This giant volcano's base is the size of Missouri. There are also lots of channels on Mars, and they look like Earth's river channels. Most scientists believe water once flowed on the martian surface, but new studies suggest there may still be water in some places on the surface.

Michael Wirths My wife Pamela and I own and operate a small boarding stable for horses ten kilometres west of Perth. Consequently we have a lot of people of all ages coming in and out of our place taking riding lessons and visiting the horses. Since we have been at this for a couple of years now, we have come to know some of our customers quite well and most of them know of my interest in astronomy especially since my observatory is only one hundred feet from the outdoor sand riding arena where all the lessons take place. Furthermore, quite a few of the riders now know what M13 looks like or how amazing the Moon looks at 350x magnification! I have found that most people, given the opportunity, will jump at the chance to look through a telescope. One day last fall a young lady who rides at our farm came up to me and asked if I could give a talk about astronomy to her grade 5 class at Loughborough Public School in Sydenham, Ontario . Dana was doing placement for her teachers college at the time and she explained that she had to do a section about astronomy for the class but had very little knowledge about the subject. I lent her my best introductory astronomy text and agreed to visit her class a few weeks later. My visit was to come at the end of her teaching session on astronomy. I would bring a 5" f/12 Astrophysics refractor and would show the kids the workings of a telescope.

You Are In: The Library Astronomy Mars Kids Mars Number of days it takes for Mars to orbit the sun. A Martian year. Length (in miles) of Valles Marineris, the 'Grand Canyon of Mars.' That's 4,000 km. Years it would take to travel the minimum distance between Earth and Mars at 60 mph. It takes only five minutes at the speed of light. Numbers of years until Mar's moon Phobos crashes into the planet or is torn apart into smaller chunks. Average distance from Mars to the sun. That's 228 million km. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun . It is sometimes called the 'Red Planet' because of its red soil. The soil on Mars is red because it contains iron oxide (rust). Mars is one of the brightest objects in the night sky . It has been known since ancient times. The planet is named for the Roman God of War. It has two moons, Phobos (fear) and Deimos (panic). The moons get their scary names from the horses that pulled the chariot of the Greek god Ares.

We should expect to see many exciting "firsts" in space. The event scheduled for June 21, 2004, though, could have the biggest impact on space travel since Neil Armstrong made his own historic "small step" on July 20, 1969. SpaceShipOne, a privately-developed rocket plane will launch into history on June 21 on a mission to become the world’s first commercial manned space vehicle. It will rocket to 100 kilometers (62 miles) into sub-orbital space above the Mojave Civilian Aerospace Test Center, a commercial airport in the California desert. If successful, it will demonstrate that the space frontier is finally open to private enterprise. This event could be the breakthrough that will enable space access for future generations.
