Photo © Michael Malyzsko Photo © Michael Malyzsko Learn about the Solar System Cosmic Light Charles Hayden Planetarium Red Wing, Level 1 Red Wing, Level 1 Large-scale color photographs of celestial objects offer a window on the universe, revealing the births and deaths of stars, the vastness of space, and the stunning light of our Sun. Gain a physical understanding of our solar system, and how our infinitesimal planet compares to our stellar neighbors, nearby galaxies, and beyond. Explore the Solar System (Grades 3 – 5) Explore our beautiful solar system including the Sun, planets, moons, and newly discovered objects that are changing the way we view our neighborhood in space. Separate timed ticket required. Explore the Galaxy (Grades 6 – 8) Witness the lives and deaths of stars, hear about newly discovered solar systems, and experience firsthand the size and scale of the Milky Way as we explore our home galaxy in space. Starting Points: • Compare the size and location of different planets in the solar system. How long would it take to get there? Starting Points: • What kinds of objects are in a solar system? A galaxy? • What is it like on each planet’s surface? Photo © Michael Malyzsko Photo © Nicolaus Czarnecki • What are some differences between stars and planets? To the Moon Cahners ComputerPlace Blue Wing, Level 1 Blue Wing, Level 1 Learn about NASA’s Apollo program that sent 20 people into space, including the first humans to set to foot on the Moon. Crawl into the “Apollo Command Module,” and watch the first Moon landing from the cockpit seats! Discover the many different ways that computers and robots can help us learn about our world. Program a Mars Rover and explore the challenges engineers face when designing robots to investigate other planets. Starting Points: • What are some of the challenges that scientists faced while trying to get to the Moon? Starting Points: • Why might we want to investigate the surfaces of other planets? • How do you think these models compare to the types of technologies astronauts are using now? • What can a Mars Rover do differently than an astronaut?
