Looking Into Space

The motions of the Earth will be demonstrated in speeded-up fashion. After the sun's position shifts quickly across the daytime sky, the planets and stars in the evening sky will come into view. While the Earth spins beneath the night sky, various constellations will be pointed out. After viewing the sky above Maryland, you will see the sky viewed from different parts of the world and from up in orbit around the Earth. The motions of the Moon and the planets can be observed when the Earth's revolution around the Sun is speeded up.

Show is appropriate for Third through Sixth Grade.
