“Outer Space” ~ by Winifred Scotchfudge.
In outer space, there are lots of stars and planets. In our solar system, Earth is five planets from the Sun, after Dagobah, Tatooine, Hoth and Vulcan. Our nearest moon, Marklar, is surrounded by many constellations including Thundera, Beetlejuice, and Alfa Romeo.
The only way to understand our nearest stars and planets, is to reach them via a Stargate, or failing that, the Millennium Falcon.
There’s nothing more embarrassing than investing in your child’s education, only to find that they are…uninformed.
If you want to give your child the gift of education, excitement and entertainment, the SkyScout Personal Planetarium is absolutely unbeatable. This technologically advanced device actually allows you to locate and identify planets in seconds!
Simply look through the viewfinder at a star, planet or constellation, and the high-tech GPS system will tell you what you’re looking at. The SkyScout also allows you to select an astrological object and locate it using directional arrows in the viewfinder.
Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, the real fun starts. The SkyScout provides entertaining and educational audio and text information, including facts, trivia, history and mythology on the most prominent and popular celestial objects.
For the knowledge of an astronomical expert (rather than a misinformed Padawan) in the palm of your hand, the Sky Scout will take you to infinity…and beyond!
