All of the light we receive on Earth comes from the Sun.

Have you noticed the Moon is brighter some nights than others? And it looks like the Moon changes shape? We call these changes the phases of the Moon.

Have you ever wondered how many stars you can see in the night sky? Did you know that the number you can see depends on where you are?

Comets are large balls of ice, rock and dust but you can think of them as large dirty snowballs that travel through the Solar System. 

Impact craters are made when a space rock (called a meteorite or asteroid) hits a rocky planet or moon. The impact makes a round hole in the surface, called a crater.

In the UK, we experience 4 seasons each year. These are spring, summer, autumn, and winter. You may have noticed that the weather changes during each season. But have you noticed any other differences? 

Spending time focusing on one task can help you to relax. Colouring is a great way to spend some time on a calm and creative activity.

Use your imagination to add colour to these colouring sheets. Choose from Space Exploration, Planets, or Telescopes. Or why not complete all 3?!

Connecting with the natural world through topics like space and astronomy may help improve your mental health and wellbeing.
