How to Inspire Young Astronomers with Fun Activities

Want to spark your child’s curiosity about the night sky? Here are three simple activities to bring astronomy to life:

• Backyard Stargazing Nights: Spread a blanket, grab some snacks, and point out constellations using a star map or an app.

• DIY Solar System Models: Build planets using household items and learn about their unique features.

• Lunar Observation Journals: Track the phases of the moon nightly—it’s a simple but magical way to connect with astronomy.
