Archives GALILEO SPACECRAFT RETIRES Last February 1, NASA's Galileo spacecraft took its final pictures. Galileo started its space mission from the space shuttle Atlantis on October 18, 1989. This is it's 13th year in space and it's 7th year orbiting Jupiter. Galileo's first task was to capture images of Io, one of Jupiter's moon on January 17, 1989. This was not successful because intense radiation (heat) caused it to shutdown half an hour before it was due to take pictures. Click here to read more.

42. Astronomy For Kids Includes information and two pictures related to this topic. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/asteroid.html

ASTEROIDS Are also known as the Minor Planets. Orbit the Sun mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Usually range in size from 1 kilometer to 1000 kilometers across. Are difficult to observe because of their small size. Gaspra (above) and Ida (right) are two known Asteroids. Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta are some other of the larger Asteroids. Sometimes have moons that orbit them. Notice the small moon that orbits Ida (right).

43. Astronomy For Kids - Learn About Asteroids Provides a definition, a history background and pictures related to these bodies. http://www.kidsastronomy.com/asteroid.htm

The Asteroid Belt Sun Planets Mercury Venus Earth Earth's Moon ... All Planets What are asteroids? An asteroid is a large rock in outer space. Some, like Ceres, can be very large, while others are as small as a grain of sand. Due to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball. Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight. The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt. The inner belt which is made up of asteroids that are within 250 million miles of the Sun contains asteroids that are made of metals. The outer belt, which includes asteroids 250 million miles beyond the Sun, consists of rocky asteroids. These asteroids appear darker than the asteroids of the inner belt, and are rich in carbon. Where did the Asteroid Belt come from? Asteroids are left over materials from the formation of the Solar System. These materials were never incorporated into a planet, because of their proximity to Jupiter's strong gravity.

44. Astronomy For Kids - Jupiter Provides details about its location, its visibility from Earth as well as data related to its size and its moons. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/jupiter/jupiter.htm

Where is It? Click Click Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, located in between Mars and Saturn. Jupiter is the first gas planet in our solar system, as well as being the first of what are called the Outer Planets. Jupiter is much further away from the Sun than Earth. It's average distance from the Sun is almost 470 million miles. Its orbit, or path it follows, around the sun is nearly a perfect circle. The closest it comes to the sun is about 460 million miles, and the furthest away it gets is a little over 500 million miles. Since Jupiter is so much further away from the Sun than Earth, its year, which is the time it takes to go around the sun once, is very long. A year on Jupiter is almost twelve Earth years! A day on Jupiter, which is the amount of time it takes to spin around once, is much shorter than a day here on Earth. The giant planet's day is only about ten hours long, less than half as long as a Earth day. Can I See It? Click Yes you can, and you don't need a telescope to see the ruler of the night sky. When Jupiter is visible, it is usually the brightest light in the night sky. The only objects that are brighter are the Moon and Venus. There are times when you can see Jupiter in both the early morning and evening. Be sure to check the Sky Maps here at Astronomy for Kids every month. If Jupiter is visible during the month, we will tell you where and when to look for it.

JUPITER Is the largest of all the planets. Its mass (weight) is over 320 times that of the Earth. Its diameter is over 10 times that of our planet. Is the fifth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 780 million kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 11.86 years. Rotates on its axis faster than any other planet. It completes one rotation in about 9 hours and 50 minutes. Is one of the brightest planets. Has a total of 16 satellites.

Astronomy for kids ages 7 to 9 Finding North Purpose To find compass directions during the daytime. Materials your shadow Procedure 1. Stand outdoors on a sunny day at solar noon (when the sun is at its highest altitude and casts the shortest shadows). 2. Face your shadow. You are facing North , and directly behind you is South. 3. Hold your arms out to your sides. Your right hand points to the East , your left to the West. Results A Sun's shadow is used to find general compass directions. Why? In the Northern Hemisphere, shadows point north at solar noon south, if you are in the Southern Hemisphere). Using shadows at solar noon , one can find the other compass directions. East is to your right, West to your left, and South behind you. For more astronomy experiments, see Janice VanCleave's Astronomy for Every Kid. (Wiley, 1991)

Astronomy for kids ages 9 to 12 The Dipper Purpose: To locate an asterism. Materials: directional compass Procedure 1. During the day, use the compass to determine the direction of North. 2. Find a place that provides the best view of the northern part of the sky. 3. Go outside on a clear moonless night and stand in the designated spot facing North 4. Look for seven stars that form the shape of a large dipper. Note: The bowl of the dipper faces different directions, even upside down, at different times. Results: A group of stars called the Big Dipper is found. Why? The Big Dipper is an asterism (a group of stars that form a shape within a constellation). Ursa Major (the Great Bear) is the constellation that Big Dipper is a part of. Once you find the Big Dipper, search for the rest of Ursa Major. It is easiest to find in the spring, when it is high above the northern horizon. For more information about astronomy, see Janice VanCleave's (Wiley, 1999).

Astronomy For Kids Kids have wonderful imaginations. Astronomy is a great place to start encouraging them to put it to use. Watching the stars is inexpensive too. Grab a blanket, some snacks, and binoculars if you have some handy, and head for a dark spot. If you need a flash light, try to get one with a red filter. Your eyes take at least 30 minutes to adjust to the darkness everytime you turn it on. If you use a regular flashlight your eyes will need another 30 minutes to adjust. Our eyes adjust much faster to red light. Let's start with the planet we live on.          The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is where you and I live everyday. So far, it is the only planet that we know has life.          Most of the surface of the Earth is water, that's why the picture above is so blue. You can see clouds, oceans and land in that picture. Do you know how much of the Earth is covered in water? E-mail me if you know! Next we can move on to the object that is the easiest to find. The Moon!          The Moon is a satellite of the Earth. It circles or
