When we look up at the night sky, we can see stars, planets, and entire worlds beyond our own. But what are we really looking at? What’s really out there in space? From constellations to solar systems, astronomy to astronauts, these virtual field trips introduce students to important discoveries that humans have made about the universe, our part in it, and the countless mysteries and complexities still to be explored. With the help of field trips like these, it’s now possible to take students on journeys that are out of this world without ever having to leave the classroom!
