Not much bigger than our Moon, Mercury zips around the sun every 88 days! Let's take a closer look at these two celestial bodies as summer comes in full swing. The Moon's surface actually looks a lot like Mercury's – and July's first-quarter Moon will give us a great opportunity to see crater details.
Cultures across the world and throughout time are united in a fascination with the night sky. Humans have used stars to mark the passage of time, tell stories, build mythologies, and navigate across vast dark oceans. With powerful telescopes and a wealth of knowledge, Bob Piekiel is your tour guide to the stars and planets, revealing the secrets of the far away, inspiring us to think about how special our little green and blue ball in space is.
