Astronomy: the branch of science that studies objects we can see in the night sky, space, and the universe! |
Today
– and, more importantly, tonight – is one of the two annual
Astronomy Days. According to the Astronomical League's
website, local astronomical societies, planetariums, museums, and
observatories will be having special events to help us all learn more
about astronomy. Maybe there will be an event near you!
This
holiday was created way back in 1973, but of course astronomy is one
of the most ancient of sciences. In ancient times people had much
darker skies (no electric lights) and more opportunity to watch and
learn about the heavens (no distractions like TV or video games).
Here are some great astronomy / space websites for kids, and here are some wonderful astronomy apps. Enjoy!

Day!
