Exoplanets are planets that orbit a star other than our sun. 
  • Astronomers found the first two exoplanets orbiting a pulsar in 1992 (51 Pegasi b)
  • Astronomers have confirmed more than 4,000 exoplanets orbiting distant stars.
The 'Goldilocks Zone' (or habitable zone):
  • Is the range of distance with the right temperatures for water to remain liquid.
  • Discoveries in the Goldilocks Zone, like Earth-size planet Kepler-186f, are what scientists hope will lead us to water––and one day life.
How Does Gravity Affect Objects in Space?
Use the virtual lab to create objects in space and begin creating your universe/solar system. Be careful, gravity is everywhere!
Create Your Own Solar System
Use the virtual lab to create your own solar system and begin observing how the laws of physics work and how planets interact. 
Exoplanet Travel Bureau
Explore the Universe and view exotic and newly discovered exoplanets.
​NASA Eyes on the Solar System
Ride along with ​NASA's fleet of spacecraft as we take a journey throughout our solar system.
Eyes on Exoplanets
Journey to planets far beyond our solar system to explore planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft.
The Sun at the heart of our solar system is a yellow dwarf star, a hot ball of glowing gases. Its gravity holds the solar system together. Learn about all there is in the solar system.
All About the Planets
The solar system is the Earth's little neighborhood. So it makes sense that scientists know more about the solar system than any where else. Explore what we know with NASA!
Solar System Scope
View the motion of the planets in this activity. Solar System Scope is a model of Solar System, Night sky and Outer Space in real time, with accurate positions of objects and lots of interesting facts.
Step Inside a Supernova
Navigate the fiery aftermath of a supernova in the “Journey through an Exploded Star” interactive simulation.

Scale of the Universe
If you have ever wondered where we fit in the universe, then this interactive is for you. The Scale of the Universe takes you on a ride down to the smallest thing theorized by scientists and then out to the vastness of the universe. 
Formation of the Earth
Use the online NatGeo Kids article and worksheet to answer questions related to the Earth's formation.
