Click on the highlighted words to go to these astronomy sites for students and teachers:

StarChild: Students: start here for NASA's site for young astronauts.

The JPL Solar System Simulator incredibly allows you to view virtually any planet or moon in the Solar System from any other planet or moon for any date and time. For example, you can view the Earth's Moon from Earth throughout a lunar cycle and also view the Earth from the Earth's Moon during that same time period. Take a look at Jupiter from Io or vice versa every four hours over a two day period. (Suggestion: start by having the body take up 30% of the image width.)

NASA Kids: Another wonderful NASA site for student use.

The Space Place: Yet another great place for kids from NASA.

Southern Hemisphere Moon:  Check out how the Moon changes in the Southern Hemisphere.  If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, compare the changes you observe in the Moon with what people in the Southern Hemisphere see.
