Solar System 2008

This month we explore our solar system's celestial bodies.. It is easy to find a few of the planets in your sky this month. Others will become visible during different months throughout the year. We'll learn the constellations the planets can be found in now and later in the year and we'll talk about a few space missions to the planets, especially the Messenger mission to Mercury. Messenger passed within 124 miles of Mercury on Jan. 14th.

Shown January 8, 15, 22, & 29
