This week, we read a book about the solar system.

You can ask your child what they learned about the planets and the moon!

Click here to link to a NASA mission to Jupiter!

If you can download google expedition on your phone, tablet or iPad, then you can watch the whole expedition.

This week we asked the question: "Why does the Sun rise and set?" We talked about the rotation (spin) of the Earth and watch video footage from space that shows the Earth spinning. 

If you have the chance to watch the sunset or sunrise with your child, be sure to turn around and check out the super long shadow you both cast when the Sun is low in the sky.

For a spectacular view of the sunrise, I recommend you and your child watch this time-lapse video of Earth: http://www.universetoday.com/88998/amazing-timelapse-video-from-the-space-station/ It was created by putting together photos taken from the International Space Station. You’ll see the yellow lights of human civilization, the flashing white of lightning in the clouds, and in the end, a brilliant sun rising above the curve of our planet.
