This is a fun read for all, including your kids: https://astroquizzical.com/  
    
  The head of the siote is Astrophysicist Jillian Scudder, PhD, who has  
  published a book of the same nametghat is a nicxe concise descriiption of  
  our  
  cosmos  fromBig Bang til now -- she goes in to details for all our  
  relatives:  
  the types of planets, stars,nebula mases, galaxies, et al. . .  
    
  Fun read.  
    
  She takes public questions at the above link & answers some on the site.  
    
  It's nice to see there is interest in the subject out there, & that here is  
  a  
  PhD fostering such.  
    
  Reminds me a bit of Carl Sagan, but deffo prettier.  
    
  If you'd like to interact with a real currently working Astrophysicist,  
  check  
  out the link I posted at the top.  
    
  If you don't, then don't.  I'm not pushing it for any reason(I have no gain  
  if  you do or do not visit); just sharing some thing on topic, to see who  
  might be  currebntly reading.  
    
  Wqhat's an Astrophysicist?  Think Raj Koothrapalli on The Big Bang Theory.  
    
  They study the components of the physical universe & how it all interacts  
  with  each other, & seeks to understand what any of that means for Earth &  
  our  
  future path.  
    
  Oh, we're still going to get good & cooked in many eons, but why & how &  
  how  
  doesit go for other planetary systems out there?
