The night sky has fascinated humans for millenia. This section capitalizes on that natural interest both for classroom teachers and outdoor educators.

  Astronomy Activity Guides, Kits, and Games
This section contains a wide selection of creative astronomy activity guides, games, hands-on kits, references, and resources for viewing the night sky.
 
  Astronomy DVDs
Includes the National Geographic, Eyewitness, Planets, Asteroids and other engaging astronomy DVDs.
 
  Planispheres for Finding Constellations
These Chandler planispheres are designed to reduce distortion by dividing the night sky into two maps, one on each side of the planisphere. This unique system makes it easier to recognize night sky patterns. The bright white background of the planisphere contrasts sharply with the text, making for easy nighttime reading. These planispheres are plastic, making them fully resistant to nighttime dew. Two sizes (5" and 8" diameter) available for each latitude. For most US locations, use 30-40°; northern US/Canada, 40-50°; southern US/Mexico, 20-30°.
