PASSPORT TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM

How better to understand the dynamic processes that shape our home planet than by comparing it with the other worlds of our solar system?

Gain an unprecedented view of our cosmic neighborhood through the eyes, cameras and telescopes of space scientists, NASA engineers, and mission designers. You and your students will review recent imagery from the NEAR mission to asteroid 433 Eros, search for signs of liquid water on Mars, and fly to the Sun with the latest generation of NASA spacecraft.

Engaging and informative videos are just the beginning. Once students are excited by amazing images, teacher-tested hands-on activities bring the scientific principles home to your classroom, and online resources connect students to researchers, other students and information from around the world.
