Investigation

Impact craters are made when a space rock (called a meteorite or asteroid) hits a rocky planet or moon. The impact makes a round hole in the surface, called a crater.

The Sun is a constant presence in our life on Earth. It gives us the heat and light we need to survive. But it is not a stable place. The Sun is a ball of hot plasma which is constantly changing.

You have probably seen the Moon in the sky but have you ever studied it in detail?

Astronomers use telescopes to see objects far away in space. Did you know that we can only see an object if it emits light or if it reflects light? 

Many years ago, a mathematician named Johannes Kepler created a set of rules explaining planets' movement in our Solar System.

You have likely heard about the Universe expanding. Or that redshift can tell us about the movements of galaxies. Both are difficult ideas to imagine and understand.
