What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the various phenomena and features of the night sky. Was the moon full when you were born? What constellations and planets will be visible over your house tonight? How different are the stars in another part of the world, or in another part of time?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Curious stargazers can get the answers to a plethora of questions with this online astronomy treasure chest.

It's all a little confusing at first, so check the Sample Views area to get the idea. Then read the help files to fine-tune your Sky View Café skills. One trick is to click on a clock digit representing the month, then click and hold on either the time forward or backward button. Under the "Orbits" tab view, you'll see the planets in motion!
