Journey Through the Planets

Your family launches from Earth, bounces across the Moon, drives on Mars and reaches Pluto’s icy heart. Along the way, your child learns why Mars has blue sunsets, where Mercury hides ice and what fills Titan’s lakes.

• On the Moon you weigh about one sixth of your Earth weight.
• Mercury is closest to the Sun, yet hides ice in dark craters.
• Sunsets on Mars look blue because fine dust scatters blue light.
• Titan’s lakes are liquid methane, not water.
• You can spot five planets at night without a telescope.
