Investigate Tides

The sea level rises and falls every day. These changes are called tides. Tides happen because of the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. The Moon has the strongest effect because it is much closer to Earth. 

Explore Tides

The ocean’s tides rise and fall every day, but have you ever wondered what causes them? The Moon and Sun both play a role in shaping the movement of water across the Earth. 

Classify Galaxies

Galaxies are vast collections containing billions of stars, planets, and massive clouds of gas, dust, and ice. Understanding galaxies is a key part of astronomy. One important tool for studying them is classification—grouping them into a few different categories.
