Share it on our Year

Each month from October 2010 to August 2012, will highlight different aspects of our Solar System—its formation, volcanism, gravity, ice, life elsewhere, weaving together activities, resources, and ideas that teachers, clubs, and organizations can use to engage audiences.
At solarsystem.nasa.gov/yss you will find: educational materials, resources, and activities; night-sky viewing events; people profiles; free downloadable promotional materials (bookmarks, fliers, events).
Experience the scale of our solar system in October, explore its formation in November, investigate the characteristics of our planets in December and January, and delve into comets in February! Join us as we explore New Worlds and make New Discoveries together!
