Astronomy is often called the oldest science. Cultures around the world have had and continue to have deep connections with the night sky for various reasons. In this lesson, explore some of those ties, learn how modern astronomy helps us know our planet and its inhabitants better, and marvel at the solar system and what we can observe in the night sky! 

Learning goals:

  • The solar system is made up of many different types of bodies including planets, moons, asteroids, comets, gas, dust, and a star 
  • Technology allows us to observe Earth from space to track changes over time, for example climate change; but it also has diminished our connection to the sky, for example light pollution 
  • Cultures around the world have deep connections to the night sky
