See the Stars

Astronomers estimate that there are 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way alone! That amounts to a lot of stargazing.

Take your kids outside on a warm night, lay down a blanket, and look up at the sky. Tell them stories about the stars, find constellations, and try to point out stars or planets that you know. It’s a humbling experience to see a shooting star or to hear, “That star is actually a planet?”
