Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere! Astro Explorers will guide you through many online resources and activities to study the sun, moon, planets, stars, asteroids, comets & meteors, and space exploration.

You will receive a weekly guide listing the links to explore and suggestions for related activities. This will be a great opportunity for 4-H'ers to show their projects from this program at their county fair this summer!
