I grew up with a planetarium in my Elementary School (I know–how cool is that!) and grew to love stargazing, planets, constellations and the stories that went along with them.
Nature at night…what a beautiful art form.
Here are some websites to help your star gazing night be even more interesting:
- Kids Astronomy
- About Space and Astronomy
- Starchild
- Astronomy Picture of the Day
- Star Journey National Geographic
- Sky and Telescope
- Jack Horkheimer-Star Gazer
- Earth and Sky



what perfect timing – thank you for the links. My almost 6yo daughter has recently become super interested in learning about space, planets etc and I have managed to gather about 7 books from her school and 2 public libraries (i like to look at books). her dad is all about google earth etc and has been on the net with her. This will be a big help as we just started 3 weeks of school holidays and our goal is to quench herthirst about space!
