Let's discover more about the stars, planets and more! Back in fourth grade, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit a planetarium with my friends and I instantly fell in love with the branch of science known as astronomy. We got to watch a movie about stars who were in love but forbidden from seeing each other in a movie dome and got to eat moon and star shaped cookies as we were taught all about our solar system and beyond. I became obsessed with this study and thus my years of learning about space began. I really had fun making this list (very simplified and comprehensive) as it's something I'm in love with and have recommended a few items to help if you'd love to start your space adventure too.
