Did you know?

1- The International Space Station (I.S.S) is one of the brightest objects in the night sky. You can see it with the naked eye or a pair of binoculars as a point of light moving past the stars.


2- The moon has no atmosphere. This means it has no wind or weather, so everything on its surface stays the same. The footprints and American flag left by astronauts in 1969 are still there!


3- One light-year is the distance light travels in one year about 5.9 trillion miles.


4- On Earth we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. Seventy-eight percent of it is nitrogen.


5- Jupiter's four largest moons-Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto-were first seen by Galileo in the 17th century.


6- Because Uranus is tipped way over on its axis, its north pole is in darkness for 42 Earth years.
