The next total lunar eclipse will be March 3rd! (This date has now passed. Sorry you missed it! You can still [|read] about it!) There will be a partial solar eclipse on September 11, 2007. Sorry, we won't be able to see it. Only parts of South America and Antarctica will.

Earth and Moon Study Guide

Stars
Over billions of years, stars change. They are big balls of gas that give off light and heat. We have learned that stars have life cycles and are different sizes. We have also talked about the sizes of stars. Some stars are massive but look very small to us because they are so far away. Our sun is only a medium star! [|Interactive Sky Chart]

We read the book //Follow the Drinking Gourd//. We learned how a constellation, the Big Dipper, helped guide slaves to freedom. Take a [|virtual tour] of the Underground Railroad to see what it was like for the slaves. [|Listen] to the song!
